Students will launch the food truck culture challenge by sharing personal food traditions, examining authentic examples from Spanish-speaking contexts, and gathering early evidence about how food, design, and community connect.

Students will sort evidence from family food comparisons, authentic food truck examples, and stakeholder interviews to define a user-centered problem. They will write and refine a How Might We statement for their food truck concept that names a real need, stays separate from solutions, and is grounded in research.

Students will generate multiple food truck concepts from their research, compare ideas against user needs and cultural evidence, and select one promising direction for a bilingual food truck business concept.

Students will turn their selected food truck idea into a first workable draft by applying earlier research, culture comparisons, Spanish language practice, and user-centered problem statements to a bilingual menu, budget, branding plan, and simple truck model.

Students will test their draft food truck concepts with peers and community users, collect evidence about clarity, cultural authenticity, language use, and audience appeal, and document revisions they need to make before critique.

Students will use structured critique protocols to evaluate their food truck model, bilingual menu, branding, and pricing choices against user needs, cultural authenticity, and Spanish communication goals. They will give feedback to 2 peers, receive feedback, revise their work, and document how critique from classmates and a community partner strengthens their final design decisions.

Students will showcase their bilingual food truck businesses to an authentic audience, document how feedback shaped their final design choices, and reflect on their growth in explaining food, culture, and community connections.
