Students open the project with a college-style panel featuring shelter staff, an animal rights advocate, mentors, and experienced student leaders. They capture notes on adoption barriers, safety concerns, outreach strategies, and questions they want to investigate. The class closes by posting possible pathways for answering the essential question on a shared board.
