Individual CTE Dress Code Research Brief and Prototype Pitch Card
Each student creates a short research brief based on firsthand observations or teacher-supported interviews, then designs one low-tech prototype idea for improving a CTE dress code. The packet includes a visual or written pitch card that explains how the idea addresses a real user need.
Team Fair and Safe CTE Dress Code Guide with Elevator Pitch Showcase
Teams combine individual research and prototype ideas into one shared dress code guide and a higher-fidelity display for an authentic audience. The final presentation includes a clear problem statement, revised rules, visuals, and a short elevator pitch explaining how the design meets user needs and SkillsUSA expectations.
