Students will investigate a local park with a community partner, document how different users experience the space, and transform observations, measurements, tally data, and interview responses into an evidence-based empathy brief for the park design challenge.

Students will synthesize field-trip observations, measurements, accessibility findings, and community-partner feedback into an evidence-based design brief that guides the park ideation phase.

Students will transform field-trip observations, community feedback, and mathematical constraints into multiple inclusive park concepts, then use two rounds of peer feedback to select and revise a concept for 3-D prototyping.

Students will translate their scaled park plans into low-fidelity 3-D prototypes, verify geometric and resource constraints, and revise their designs using structured peer feedback before user testing.

Students will test their 3-D park prototypes with an Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation representative and peers, analyze feedback data, and revise their models and mathematical evidence before the community exhibition.

Students will present their final inclusive park solutions to peers and an Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation representative, gather feedback, make a documented revision, and reflect on their mathematical design process.
