• Develop a preliminary version of a product, system, or service
• Test and evaluate the functionality, design, and usability of the prototype
• Identify potential problems or flaws early in the design process
• Gather feedback from stakeholders, users, or customers
• Refine the design based on testing and iteration
• Reduce the risk of errors or costly mistakes in the final product
• Reduce development costs and speed up time-to-market
• Explore different ideas and concepts before committing to a final design
• Facilitate communication and collaboration among team members and stakeholders
• Demonstrate the feasibility and potential of a new product or innovation.

1. Define the goals and objectives of the prototype: The student should understand the purpose of the prototype and what it is intended to achieve.
2. Conduct research and gather information: The student will need to research the target audience, industry trends, and relevant technologies to inform the design and functionality of the prototype.
3. Develop a design concept: The student will need to create a preliminary design concept for the prototype, including sketches, wireframes, or other visual representations.
4. Choose appropriate tools and materials: The student should select the appropriate tools and materials for building the prototype, such as software programs such as Figma, Adobe XD.
5. Refine the design based on feedback: The student should analyze the feedback received and make necessary changes to the design or functionality of the prototype.
6. Iterate the process: The student should to repeat the process of testing and refining the prototype until it meets the desired goals and objectives
