🧩 Empathy Map and HMW Brief

Teams turn interview notes into an empathy map with four labeled sections: needs, feelings, barriers, and examples. They draft a How Might We statement for their future board game, then give feedback to 2 peers, receive feedback, and revise the brief so it better matches player evidence rather than guesses. Students complete the midpoint reflection card by comparing their first game idea to this evidence-based direction and naming one rule change that makes success, failure, or growth clearer.
