We received feedback from both the parent audience but more specific feedback from some willing park staff. Amazingly, our authentic audience were picking invasives right outside the window. A brave student asked if they'd come watch. :)

After our practice pitch, we took feedback from the other Hager Park group and made some changes in voice volume and clarification of parts of our prototype sign.

Groups presented their posters with their solution ideas.

Walking interview with Ottawa County Parks employee, Mr. Medina, where we learned about the invasive plant species in Hager Park. 

# data[].attributes.body
"I liked walking on the trails and learning about the different plants on our first day."-Laney

"I wonder if the invasive species can adapt to the environment at Hager Park."-Colton

"I'm going to remember all of you guys." -Ronan

"I loved learning about the different plants in the park!" -Waylon

"I'm glad I learned how to grass whistle." -Miles, after we learned an important life skill earlier this week. :)

Our group was in and out of writing their pitch lines and working on the final prototype.

# data[].attributes.body
Signage in the park. Students have chosen to craft a sign that will be placed around the park that will include the following things:

-a map of the park and where to find invasive species

-a QR code to download a plant identifying app to help park-goers identify invasive plant species

-a place for trash bags to be used to bag up invasive species that park-goers pull out of the ground

-QR codes for websites, maps, etc.

-a news corner to inform park-goers of fun events like Plant Camp

-definitions of native, exotic and invasive plants as well as a QR code with an audio version to make this accessible for all

-pictures of invasive plant species around the park

# data[].attributes.body
Our authentic audience gave us the feedback that our group clearly knew and understood the information, but needed some extra clarification of the plant identification app and how to remove the invasives species more specifically.

# data[].attributes.body
We did both a stakeholder and empathy map of those affected by our DQ.

We played Raft, asking would you rather questions.

During team building we were given the opportunity to get some free books through the Georgetown Public Library!

Overall, the process went incredibly fast, but was incredibly rewarding. It was great to see kids who were so nervous to present go up confidently in front of a larger audience and nail it. What a difference a couple half days can make in this whirl of a process! Our group (teachers included) went from novices to experts in one week.
