🗣️ Prototype Pitch Deck Checkpoint

Students prepare a concise 4-6 slide pitch deck or recorded screen presentation that shows their HMW statement, research-backed problem frame, three concept options, scoring logic, chosen direction, and immediate prototype plan for the next phase. Peers and the teacher use the project rubric to respond with warm and cool feedback, and students complete a final weekly reflection naming risks, supports needed, and the first prototype artifact they will build. Teacher approval serves as the milestone gate into Phase 4.
