Grading Required
Teams use a decision matrix to compare their three concepts against user needs, criteria, constraints, and likely environmental impact. In a Seedfolks-style discussion circle, students cite one character perspective that changed their thinking, then receive teacher and peer questions before choosing one concept to carry into prototyping. Each team submits a revised concept page with a short scientific justification, next-step prototype plan, and one documented change made from feedback.
