🔍 Exemplar Exploration

Students study at least one working exemplar, such as a simple ultrasonic bin sensor setup, a waste-level dashboard mockup, or an annotated prototype from robotics mentors. In teams, they identify features that make the exemplar effective for sanitation workers, then sort those features into quality criteria for usability, data collection, and prediction accuracy. They finish by sketching original adaptations for their own prototype rather than copying the model directly.
