Inquiry Builds

Inquiry Builds is one of six PQK tracks. It produces an inspectable object and a set of questions a later critique could reuse.

Building as a test

Inquiry Builds runs short cycles: attempt, critique, more local attempt. The mentor does not seize the build. The object is a test of the model, not a display of materials.

Visible objects

Track brief. Attempted object. Critique note. Revised object. Exit question. A visiting teacher should follow the trail without a speech.

How inquiry turns into display

The usual collapse is a missing problem, an untestable question, or a claim that arrived before the log. Repair is a return to the trail. Redesigning the poster comes last.
