Description: This is a high-fidelity mockup of an app called COOL Math created on Sketch. I am in charge of designing the app front-to-end, doing everything from visual design, creating the flows, assessing the UX, testing the app, and creating its content.
Challenge: I partnered up with a software Engineer working on an independent project to create a mobile app that helps children practice and build their math skills. This is the initial stage of the project, but he eventually wants it to grow into something much greater, and I am excited to take part in that vision. One challenge that I faced was tailoring the content to be understood by both children and parents. Also, making sure that the app is revolved around positivity for the child so that they do not get discouraged when they make mistakes and stay focused on making improvements and trying again to do better their next attempt. My background in Psychology and the educational system has helped me immensely in this area.
Audience: Parents and elementary school aged children.
Process: The process began with discussing with the engineer his thought processes and vision. I began by pinpointing his desired audience and brainstorming the best way to deliver his vision. This process included the making of personas, sketches and wireframes to better organize ideas and keep us on track.
Results: The mobile app has been officially out on the App Store for iOS: Check out the what we now call "Freeze Math" on the App Store! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/freezemath/id1360989120
The images below display just a few views of the mobile app. The parents are able to set up their child's quiz based on what they see fit for their child. An easy, seamless setup.
They also have a section to view their child's progress report, and the app will notify parents when their child's overall average score has fallen below 70%.
Parents have the ability to add a passcode to the app so that their child cannot access progress reports, settings, or their profile while using the app.
