What am i looking at?

An interactive tool that lets students build and visualize a personal profile, offering dynamic exploration of interests and courses. With a speed dating-style setup, it offers personalized recommendations and engaging information, helping students quickly check out different courses or dive deeper into the ones they like. It's a fun way to find new paths and customize their learning as they grow.

Opportunity Areas

We identified four lenses through which we can understand the problem space and respond to our guiding question:
How might we help students make better decisions about course planning and their journey beyond high school?

SUPPORT CAREER THINKING

We believe that by implementing interactive and experiential learning opportunities that bridge the gap between courses, career paths, and real-world contexts, students will be more engaged in exploring these connections.

FIND THE RIGHT COURSES FOR YOU

We believe that student’s current perception of value may limit them from having a holistic educational journey.

LEVERAGE YOUR COMMUNITY

We believe that students who can effectively engage with their community, while remaining true to themselves, will adopt a bigger picture view that will aid decision-making.

BUILD CONFIDENCE + SELF-IDENTITY

We believe that students who are confident in themselves will make better decisions that feel authentic to them given the information they have, and will be better able to adapt to change, even when those decisions do not work out.

Parallel prototyping

We did four prototypes, each focusing on a different primary opportunity area.
