Results & Reflection
Results & Reflection
What I Learned
• Designing for young children means removing friction while keeping experiences fun and motivating
• Collaborating with teachers gave me deeper insight into real classroom constraints
• Testing with children showed the importance of intuitive layout and reward-driven interactions
Next Steps
• Conduct usability testing with children to assess flow and comprehension
• Expand game offerings by difficulty level and theme
• Design and implement a parent dashboard to visualize progress and reinforce learning at home
