By Phase By Day Calendar
Discover
Students will launch the community park redesign project, study who uses public spaces and why thoughtful design matters, then produce three early design-thinking artifacts that define the challenge, identify end users, and generate inquiry questions grounded in evidence and multiple perspectives.

Do
Students will implement a test of their park redesign, treasure-map route, or transformed logo set with real users or peer users, collect evidence about clarity and effectiveness, and use that evidence to make a justified improvement claim before the final share phase.
