Transitioning from Selection to Implementation!
Team Aquamarine ignited the implementation phase by distinguishing our overarching mission to increase remote student engagement, pre-k to 2nd grade, by building a child-centric video conferencing solution for education. Uniting on the decision to create both a digital environment and physical product, we jumped back into Mural to determine next steps and examine the user interaction. We pinpointed three buckets – software features, stylus features, and UX – to categorize key components and attributes necessary to the viability, defeasibility, and feasibility of our solution. To address the variety of our solution’s audience, we broke down the categorizes by user group and generated user journeys to exemplify the student, educator, and guardian perspectives, noting the different steps in their processes.
Having complied our necessary and desired outcomes, we looked towards additional research that would support and further inform our design development and business structure. As a team, we identified ownership over specific components of our weekly objectives– utilizing our professional and academic backgrounds to strengthen and elevate our solution.
Team Aquamarine is elated to present and receive feedback on our creation – Kiddeo!
