They are not doing this alone. Mentors guide the work, teach, demonstrate, question and review. Students create, receive feedback, think again and improve. The first version is rarely the final version.

They can show
something.
Real work they created, improved and can talk through with confidence.

They can explain
something.
What they did, what changed after feedback and why they made their decisions.
