Human-Centered App Design Portfolio
Each student documents an existing-app evaluation, firsthand user evidence, a user-needs profile, an individual concept prototype, an AI appropriateness analysis, feedback-based revisions, and reflection on inclusive collaboration. The portfolio demonstrates how individual findings and design decisions contributed to the team app.
Community Helper App Prototype and Creative Tech Expo Pitch
Each team creates and tests an interactive community helper app prototype with purposeful screens, user flows, accessible features, and a concise pitch explaining user evidence, community impacts, inclusive collaboration, revisions, and any decision to use or reject AI. Teams demonstrate the prototype at the Creative Tech Expo and gather feedback from visitors and technology professionals.
