Students will launch the Greektown inquiry by examining the community challenge, identifying likely end users, and drafting evidence-based questions that will guide later asset mapping, interviews, and historical research.

Students will evaluate neighborhood sources, analyze cause-and-effect patterns shaping Greektown, and use research evidence to draft a realistic solution direction grounded in community history, direct observation, and stakeholder perspectives.

Students will turn Greektown fieldwork, interview evidence, and history research into a testable team solution concept by analyzing exemplars, writing a clear hypothesis, planning creation steps, and documenting one feedback-driven revision.

Students will test their Greektown support concept with stakeholders, collect evidence on how well it addresses business and community needs, and document what they would improve before the final public share.

Students will present what they learned about Greektown’s history, assets, business challenges, and proposed supports by completing a final growth reflection that traces how their evidence, design thinking, collaboration, and community understanding developed across the project.
