EdTech Impact: Creating an engaging tool for reaching clients
No one could predict the 2020 Pandemic. The world changed completely from one day to another and big challenges became even bigger. Education is the greatest weapon to change the world, and it was seriously threatened. Teachers and trainers felt a deep impact in student engagement and they did not have the right tools, skills, and inspiration to overcome these new challenges. Digital Society School created a track to tackle these challenges: Educational Technology for Social Change.
Design Challenge
In September 2021, the EdTech Impact trainee team accepted the challenge of taking this new track to a whole next level. Our design challenge was to create a digital end-product or service that allows the EdTech for Social Change track to expand its scope and reach by attracting new partners, projects, and expanding recognition within the EdTech community. Our creative process took place throughout 5 sprints, in which we used design methods for empathy, problem-solving, prototyping, and testing. We also based our ideas on two main Sustainable Development Goals: quality education (nr 4.), and responsible consumption and production (nr 12.). Our final solution is versatile and modular, and therefore can be used for other learning contents. After months of research and prototyping, the EdTech Impact Team proudly presents: The EdTech Town!
