Students will engage in field trips to local food banks and shelters, conduct interviews with staff to deeply understand their needs and challenges, and start their reflective journal entries that document these insights and personal responses, setting the foundation for the next phase of defining project goals.

Students will clearly articulate the problem of food insecurity by analyzing insights gathered during the 'Food Justice Fiesta', collaborating to refine a class-wide problem statement that reflects community needs, and engaging in reflective journaling to deepen their understanding.

Students will brainstorm and collaboratively develop innovative food drive strategies that respond to community needs, drawing on insights gained from interactions with local shelter staff, and prepare to present their ideas during weekly peer review sessions to refine their approach.

Students will collaboratively create and refine low-fidelity prototypes of their food drive strategies, integrating class feedback and insights from community interviews to ensure innovative and effective approaches in addressing food insecurity.

Students will engage with the community feedback on their food drive strategies, iterate their plans based on constructive insights, and prepare presentations to share refined solutions and outcomes in a public speaking event, demonstrating adaptability and resilience.
