Indus Space Kids
Our Problem:
The challenge for this capstone project was to find a way to offer students with Space and STEAM-related learning experiences virtually. Based on research, our goal was to make virtual learning engaging and interesting for grades 1 - 5 through gamification.
My Role:
Decider
What we did:
As a group, we designed multiple interactive activities where students are guided to learn about space-related topics. Students can explore at their own pace and engage with the activities that will inspire a lifetime of learning and evoke curiosity.
BuzzFeed Redesign
My Problem:
I redesigned the BuzzFeed app for this project, basing it on one product feature and user reviews from the app store to guide my research. I focused on reviews of users not noticing the login/signup option to comment and bookmark articles.
What I did:
The problem had users commenting bad reviews on the app stores, which significantly dropped the app's rating. I aimed to fix this problem by creating an effortless interaction with popular articles, to be up to date with the day's topics, to comment on, and save them to look back on later.
