Students will launch the Science Camp fundraiser project by examining the money goal, comparing possible fundraiser ideas, and using would/could/should/need language to ask focused questions and make early judgments about what seems fair, fun, and realistic.

Students will gather direct feedback from real school stakeholders, compare fundraiser options using evidence and would/could/should/need language, and turn interview findings into an empathy map, a focused problem statement, and a shared design brief for their group’s fundraiser direction.

Students will turn empathy findings and research into tested fundraiser prototypes, use would/could/should/need language to compare and improve ideas, revise their plans through peer and user feedback, and complete a stakeholder-ready draft pitch for Science Camp.

Students will present their final Science Camp fundraiser proposals to an authentic audience, use visual materials to justify their choices, answer audience questions with evidence, and complete a brief written reflection on how feedback shaped their plan.
