This class-based group project asks students to design an application of choice during a 12 week time period, navigating through all the needed steps to design a successful app UI/UX. Our app is a children's language education app called Tale of Languages.
My Role: Ideation, app UI/UX, Icon design, User interviews & testing, Process writing & design
Collaborators: Eve, Rose, Hayoung, Fanny
⚡️ LACK OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE
⚡️ LACK OF ENGAGING PLATFORMS
⚡️ CHILDHOOD MULTILINGUALISM IS DIFFICULT
In 2016 it was reported that 69.9% of Canadians with a non-official language as their mother tongue spoke English or French at home.
Once children go to school, they realize their mother tongue is not spoken by other kids. Wanting to fit in, they may close themselves off from learning another language. Immigrant parents don’t always have resources available for their children to have formal instruction such as bilingual or immersion programs in their mother tongue.

✔️ INTERACTIVE & ENGAGING GAMES
✔️ SECURE PARENT TAB
✔️ BADGES & PROGRESS TAB
An early childhood education application, adjusted to fit the learning needs of both immigrant parents as well as their children which would provide learning solutions in a fun, engaging way.
The app will incorporate stories, songs, interactive activities, a distinct parent tab and child tab. Parents will have the ability to track their child's progress and connect with other parents using the app. Children will engage in a series of fun games to help them learn a new language.

FUN & ENGAGING GAMES
The overall app, child tab and especially the games are designed using vibrant visuals and illustrations. The games include fun and engaging interactions such as tapping, swiping, dragging and animated tutorials.
SECURE PARENT TAB
The parent tab is home to all the profile settings, communication forums, progress and notification tabs. The parent tab is password protected to prevent children from tampering around with any settings.
EXCITING REWARDS SYSTEM
The app includes an exciting rewards system featuring fun badge illustrations that a user can unlock by completing a chapter. This motivates children to learn and provides them with positive feedback to build up their confidence.
