Challenge
Our journey started with a shared passion for making a positive impact and exploring unconventional topics. My team and I chose to focus on designing for children, but with such a vast field to consider, we needed to further narrow down our target audience.
After conducting exploratory research, we discovered a significant gap in mainstream design solutions catering to children with special needs. This prompted us to address them.
How might we implement e-learning strategies to support stakeholders and teach children with intellectual disabilities social and emotional learning skills using visuals, in order to empower them to adapt and thrive?
My Role
What started as a mere college project has now blossomed into an open source.I learnt to not only come up with innovation but also find balance to suit need of users, business, technical constraints
