Students will engage in discussions with classmates and the invited gym owner or personal trainer to collaboratively explore diverse perspectives on fitness equipment needs and movement mechanics, setting a foundation for understanding the biomechanics crucial to the project.

Students will identify and articulate the project's objectives by understanding the significance of exercise mechanics in fitness equipment design and defining the potential impact on personal fitness and equipment ergonomics.

Students will collaboratively brainstorm with peers and a local gym partner to generate creative ideas for designing engaging fitness equipment that integrates biomechanical principles learned, laying the foundation for their digital storyboards.

Students will draft initial sketches and outlines for their digital storyboards, incorporating insights on muscle movement and exercise mechanics, to guide the design of ergonomic fitness equipment.

Students will conduct a hands-on trial of their animated storyboards, receiving real-time feedback from the gym owner or personal trainer on how effectively their designs convey exercise mechanics and relate to the design of fitness equipment.

Students will present their digital storyboards to peers and the invited community partner, receiving and integrating structured feedback to refine their project and improve the design and functionality of their fitness equipment illustrations.

Students will critically reflect on their digital storyboards and fitness routine performances to identify key insights about body mechanics and equipment design, discussing potential impacts on future fitness planning and safety measures.
