Students will engage with local community members and environmental experts to listen and understand diverse perspectives about land conservation challenges, documenting their insights and key takeaways to inform their project direction.

Students will collaboratively articulate a clear and concise vision statement for their projects, identifying the specific impacts they aim to achieve in conserving local habitats and understanding the significance of these efforts within the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, setting a direction that will guide the rest of their project work.

Students will brainstorm innovative solutions to local environmental challenges by engaging in collaborative workshops with peers and community partners, drawing on their empathy work, to envision impactful project possibilities for habitat conservation.

Students will conceptualize and outline their interactive exhibit booths by sketching detailed designs and writing initial drafts of their project proposals that integrate conservation technologies and invite stakeholder feedback.

Students will conduct hands-on field testing with prototype interactive exhibits in small groups, gathering feedback from classmates to evaluate engagement and effectiveness, which will shape final design improvements for deeper learning impact.

Students will participate in structured critique sessions, using feedback protocols to assess and refine their conservation exhibit projects, ensuring enhanced clarity and engagement for the summit presentation.

Students will engage in a reflective dialogue, individually journal their insights on the impact of their project decisions, and collaboratively predict how their learnings will influence future conservation efforts.
