What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
Week 1: Topic Framing & Literature Review
- Define scope with your team and begin researching key sources.
- Build an annotated bibliography.
Week 2: Research Summaries & Knowledge Mapping
- Identify key findings and research gaps.
- Organize research thematically (e.g., water stress, energy transition, urban heat).
Week 3: Analysis & Synthesis
- Synthesize findings into visual or written summaries.
- Propose questions or hypotheses for further study.
Week 4: Research Brief & Presentation
