Submission Required
Using their Phase 2 evidence wall, interview notes, and problem statements, students do a rapid ideation cycle with sentence stems, sketch boxes, and simple-machine prompt cards. Each student creates several possible welcome-machine ideas that respond to sixth-grade transition needs such as finding rooms, feeling included, or understanding routines. The class briefly names the difference between a user need and a favorite solution before students share standout ideas with teammates.
