Game to Learn and Grow

 

High Concept Statement

We can never learn enough. This app will make learning into a scoring game that can be played with friends and family. The learning dashboard will combine text, video and visual elements. Kids can learn insights, Adults can read the news. Scores will be based on complexity of matter.

 

Status Quo

Too many touch-points to learn and research information; Parents, especially those working, may not be able to connect as easily with what their children are learning about. This gives them an insight into what the kids are reading/viewing, so that the parents can continue to educate themselves on pertinent topics.

Solution
