• Brad Goodman is a 15-year-old high school student living in a small town called Cambridge.
• Background: Brad grew up in a small town with his parents and younger sister. His family always encouraged him to explore his interests and be curious about the world around him. He developed a strong passion for technology, art, and design from a young age.
• Early interests: Brad spent countless hours tinkering with gadgets, taking apart old electronics, and putting them back together. He showed a natural talent for understanding complex systems and how they worked. He also had a keen eye for aesthetics and enjoyed creating artwork in various mediums.
• Discovery of NuVu: When Brad turned 13, he stumbled upon NuVu, a progressive and innovative school that focused on interdisciplinary learning, project-based education, and fostering creativity. Intrigued by the school's philosophy, he couldn't wait to apply and become a part of the NuVu community.

Signature projects: Over the years, Brad completed several notable projects at NuVu. One of his standout creations was a kinetic sculpture that combined mechanical engineering, programming, and visual aesthetics. Another project involved designing a virtual reality experience that simulated historical events, allowing users to immerse themselves in different time periods.

• Character: Who is the hero of your story? Do they have a flaw or problem that they need to fix? Can we identify with them, root for them, understand their motivation? Are they likable, authentic, probable?
• Want and Need: What does the hero think they want and do they proactively pursue it? What do they need, and how does it relate to their flaw or problem? How are they ultimately bound to change?
• Plot: Is there an archetype that fits your story? If you’re writing in a specific genre, which master plot is fitting your idea?
• Structure: Can you define the beats for your story or fill out a beat sheet? Is your three-act-structure balanced with rise and fall? Are the events linked to create a unified whole?
• Conflict and Resolution: What is the opposing force working against your main character? In what form do you create tension? Does the climax conclude the hero’s struggle, and is the final resolution a character change or transformation?
