Genius Prek was an application that targeted kids in Prek and Kindergarden. Making sure they hit their milestones and goals for kids in their age group. We also tracked how the child is learning and how they identify with different types of interactive content.
The Challenge Of Project
Teachers didn’t have a good way to get kids to learn the materials they needed and track the child progress and milestones along the way. A lot of teachers complained that the kids didn’t want to use the material provided to them by the state. Because of that, children in low income city areas suffered greatly.
Key Issues
- No user friendly app for Teachers
- No user friendly app for Students
- Tracking software was not consistent
- Children not learning
- Children falling behind in hitting milestones
Solution
- Developed an app that allows students to learn a subject in the type of content they wanted. We also designed lesson plans for users to follow to help ensure they hit there milestone.
- In said app, developed a teacher portal that allowed teachers to set up their lesson plans with a database of content made by teachers AND students. Users had the ability to “Repost” they content in their own words and choice of content.
- Our tracking software worked seamlessly across student and teachers.
- Made learning new subjects fun for the child, therefor it was easy for them to hit their milestones accomplishments.
