Throughout this project, facilitators can use a variety of formative and summative assessments to support learning, reflection, and continuous improvement.
Below you will find assessment ideas for every stage, along with some sample rubrics. These assessments help participants track their growth, refine their ideas, incorporate feedback, and demonstrate their understanding of the design process from ideation to final creation.
Participants will be asked to post individual greetings and bios for others to watch/read. This step serves several key functions:
Build community and psychological safety
Surface interests, skills, and lived experiences
Foster early digital engagement
Establish accountability and presence
Prime participants for story-based work
Prompt: “What challenge/story stood out to you today? Why do you think it matters?”
Prompt: “List three ideas you contributed today and what inspired them.”
Prompt: "Create a quick concept map showing connections between personal interests, community needs, and potential project topics."
Participants document decisions, tools used, challenges, and next-step goals.
Using prompts such as:
“What part of your idea is most developed so far?”
“What’s still unclear or untested?”
Participants submit a rough prototype (sketch, storyboard, mock-up).
Peers answer short prompts after reviewing each other's draft artifacts, such as:
"What do you think the main message or story is?"
"Was the layout clear or easy to navigate?"
"What would you improve or change for the next version?"
Prompt: “What Did We Learn?”
Participants write or record a reflection summarizing the most valuable feedback they received and how it might change their project.
Small group reviews specific elements (sound quality, visuals, narrative clarity).
Purpose: to emphasize communication skills and iterative thinking.
Participants submit their final project to the Gallery Wall. They are encouraged to view each other's creations and leave comments on the Graffiti Commons.
Participants present their final artifacts.
Purpose: To celebrate the completed intergenerational projects and assess how well participants can articulate:
Their design process
How their relationship influenced the project
What they learned from each other
How their digital skills and confidence changed
How their story or artifact contributes to community connection
Participants complete an individual or shared reflection. Prompts intentionally address:
Personal growth
Relationship growth
Digital literacy growth
The impact of sharing stories across generations
