Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate customer preferences and bakery constraints through interviews, surveys, and tasting data to define a user-centered bakery product need.
Students will be able to synthesize direct user feedback and cost information to write a clear How Might We statement for the student bakery challenge.
Students will be able to scale recipes, measure ingredients accurately, and plan batches for one bakery item to meet yield and safety requirements.
Students will be able to construct and interpret tables, graphs, and linear models for ingredient cost, unit price, sales, and profit to justify production and pricing decisions.
Students will be able to analyze bakery production options using probability and sales data to compare likely outcomes and select the most viable plan.
Students will be able to prototype, test, and refine a bakery item and related marketing plan using feedback from classmates and a local bakery partner.
Students will be able to communicate team roles, progress, and revisions in weekly reflections and sales review circles to support collaborative problem-solving.
Products
Individual Bakery User Research and Prototype Portfolio
Each student will submit a portfolio with one user research artifact, a clear How Might We statement, a scaled recipe/cost analysis, and one individual prototype for the team bakery item. The portfolio must show how firsthand evidence changed the student’s design decisions.
Student Bakery Business Pitch and Testable Prototype Display
Teams will present a shared problem statement, a collaboratively refined bakery prototype or service plan, and a pricing and production model suitable for testing with authentic stakeholders at the Sweet Success Fair. The display must connect individual research to the final team solution and explain how user feedback shaped revisions.
