Instructions (Estimated Time: 20 minutes or 10 minutes per round):

1. Pair Up for Peer Review (1–2 minutes)
   • Scouts pair off or form small teams of 2–3 (teams take more time as each round is approximately 10 minutes).
   • One scout is the presenter, and the other(s) act as the target audience (e.g., a younger scout or the app’s intended user).
2. Presentation Round (3 minutes per scout)
   • Presenting scout shows or explains their idea, including what it does, how it looks, and who it’s for.
3. Give Constructive Feedback (2 minutes)
   • Listening scout gives 3 thoughtful ideas for improvement, big or small (even “I wish the background was blue” counts!).
   • Encourage kind, helpful suggestions.
4. Decide on a Change (2–3 minutes)
   • The presenting scout chooses one improvement they would make if they did the project again.
   • If time allows, they can sketch or describe what that improvement would look like.
5. Switch Roles and Repeat
   • Each scout takes a turn as presenter and listener.
