Students will interview peers posing as the couple to gather insights into their hopes, concerns, and experiences regarding genetic traits, ensuring respectful listening and empathy to build a trustworthy foundation for the project.

Students will articulate the project's goals and significance by defining the project's north star and desired impact, outlining how understanding different patterns of inheritance can influence health and characteristics of future generations.

Students will collaborate with peers to brainstorm innovative ways to integrate empathy findings into genetic counseling scenarios, creating potential project plans that address real-world genetic questions and community needs.

Students will draft detailed outlines and sketches for their genetic counseling summaries and presentations, refining their ideas and synthesizing research to create engaging, professional deliverables in preparation for testing their communication strategies.

Students will engage in role-play scenarios to present their genetic counseling findings and receive peer feedback on their ability to effectively interpret and communicate complex inheritance patterns.

Students will engage in structured critique sessions where they present their genetic counseling summaries and receive feedback from peers and educators to refine communication and analytical accuracy before the final presentation.

Students will analyze their final presentations and summarized infographics to identify how their understanding of genetic inheritance and counseling has evolved, predict future applications of these insights, and articulate reflective insights for the next project phases in a shared reflection session.
