Approach

1. User Research and Hypothesis Testing

We began by conducting extensive user research, including interviews with children, parents, and educators, to identify pain points and gain insights. Using the Value Proposition Canvas and other user-centered design tools, we formulated hypotheses on what features and elements would most effectively engage young learners.

2. Design Thinking Workshops

We organized several workshops focused on design thinking and information architecture to brainstorm and structure the app’s core functionalities. These sessions were crucial in defining the user flow and the educational journey within the app.

3. Iterative Wireframing and Prototyping

The wireframes and early prototypes helped us visualize and communicate the structure of the product through the team and do early user testing. This iterative process allowed us to make strategic decisions early in the design phase, setting a strong foundation for the app’s overall user experience.
