Students develop a prototype of their solution, test it out with the target users and refine it. They continue to engage in an iterative process of prototyping, testing and refining to design their final product. Students then share their final products with their school community at a showcase event.

	1. Ideate (docx 126.1KB) In this module, students will develop ideas and potential solutions for their chosen problem, assess them for feasibility and choose an idea to pursue further. They will practice their 'pitch' and giving/receiving critical feedback.
	2. Low Fidelity Prototyping (docx 880.7KB) Students will develop a low fidelity prototype, give/receive feedback, and make refinements.
	3. Interviewing Experts (docx 25.5KB) Students will present their proposed solutions to an expert, conduct an interview and use feedback collected during the interview to refine their prototype.
	4. High Fidelity Prototyping (docx 26.2KB) Student develop a plan with steps and resources needed to produce their high fidelity prototype, produce the prototype and present it to the class/school for feedback.

	Phase three - Take Action (youtube 03:03) This is the final phase in a three step process to empower students with the knowledge, skills and understandings required to identify and solve local bushfire related problems. This phase supports the students to generate creative solutions, prototype their ideas, consult with experts and refine their final product. This typically culminates in a showcase where they can share their final products and learnings with their school community. This program was co-funded as a research utilisation project by the Victorian Government Safer Together program (led by CFA’s Fire Risk, Research and Community Preparedness team, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, and Natural Hazards Research Australia.
