📝 Problem Statement and Peer Tuning

Each student drafts a human-centered problem statement for one exhibit direction using a sentence frame such as 'Library visitors need to understand ___ because ___, as shown by ___.' Students then give feedback to 2 peers, receive feedback, and revise using a checklist for specificity, empathy, evidence, and feasibility. The final version is added to the research portfolio as the gate for moving into idea generation.
