The Challenge
Designing for a Key Stage 3 audience introduced challenges around attention, comprehension, and engagement. The subject matter - UN Sustainable Development Goals - was inherently complex and information-heavy, making it difficult to present in a way that felt accessible and engaging for younger users. The key challenge was to simplify educational content without losing meaning, while creating an experience that aligned with both student behaviour and classroom use.
The Solution
I designed an interactive learning platform that translated complex global topics into structured, engaging content tailored to a younger audience. Through user insight and early testing, I introduced features such as an interactive map, digestible facts and statistics, and real-world news integration to connect learning with context. The interface prioritised clarity, visual learning, and intuitive navigation to support both independent exploration and guided classroom use.

The Outcome
The final product delivered a fully prototyped educational app that made global issues more accessible and engaging for students. By combining interactivity with structured content, the platform supported better understanding and retention while providing teachers with a flexible classroom resource. The project demonstrated how thoughtful UX design can bridge the gap between complex information and meaningful learning experiences.
"This platform was a great way to connect students with what is going on around them. The interactive map and real-world news features made the content feel relevant and engaging and the structured layout helped students understand complex topics more easily."
