Critique
Critique
Students will use evidence from prototype testing, peer critique, and expert feedback to identify strengths and next steps for their Vista community inventions. They will revise blueprints, compare revision options, and prepare a stronger plan for the next phase based on user needs, criteria, and constraints.
Days 23 - 26
Notice & Reflect
Notice & Reflect
Students will curate evidence from their invention journey, rehearse and present their final solution to an authentic audience, and document how research, testing, feedback, and revision shaped their work. They will use speaking, writing, and reflection routines to explain what their team learned about designing for real Vista community needs.
