Concept Design: Cross-Curricular Experience

Role: Designer, ideation and prototyping

Challenge
How might we teach Reading at the same time as other subjects, such as Social Studies, Science, and Arts and Culture to optimize the classroom agenda?

Strategy
I co-interviewed Elementary School teachers and synthesized the information to parse their pain points relevant to this challenge. I designed prototypes with modern visuals and content to engage students with the topic, which would hypothetically improve learning outcomes.

Results
Strong positive reactions from educators to prototypes in testing. The project was unfortunately cancelled due to lack of engineering support and shifting business needs. However this was a huge leap forward in team confidence in digital production and design thinking practices. Lessons learned in this process were carried forward into new projects.
