Launch
Launch
Students will launch the park-design challenge by gathering evidence about how existing park features affect different users, then apply geometric decomposition and area calculations to sketch an initial inclusive improvement.
Days 1 - 2
Research & Synthesize
Research & Synthesize
Students will conduct respectful user interviews, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and synthesize findings into individual user-needs profiles and a team evidence brief that identifies inclusive park design requirements.
Days 3 - 6
Ideate & Plan
Ideate & Plan
Students will translate community evidence into an inclusive design brief, generate and compare distinct park concepts, and produce a preliminary scaled layout supported by polygon decompositions and area calculations.
Days 7 - 10
Build & Refine
Build & Refine
Students will validate geometric plans, build and test a low-fidelity park prototype, complete two evidence-driven revisions, and prepare a refined proposal that answers the essential question through mathematics and community evidence.
Days 11 - 14
Showcase
Showcase
Students will rehearse, revise, and publicly present an evidence-based community park proposal, then reflect on how geometry, user evidence, feedback, and collaboration shaped their final design.
