Initial Design Concept:
In testing initial concept we found that adding more gamification proved to be beneficial for the targeted age group. In the second round of design the accessibility features and gamification were added.
The application was geared toward usage on desktops but after talking to children we found a designing it for an ipad/tablet/mobile was the better option.
The subsequent designs are for mobile/tablet/ipad.
The updated user experience gives more features to explore and pages to add to the overall experience.
