Overview
I made an app to teach high school students about finances, investing, savings, and retirement funds. I tried to make this an interactive experience for them, while making it informational as well.
Tools
One of the main purposes of this project was to leverage AI to aid in any portion of the project I saw fit. I used tutorai to create the content for the lessons in the app
Design Desicions
I started this project by looking at apps in the financial industry, even though I couldn't find anything exactly like what I created, I used this competitive analysis to help me create mood boards and initial sketches. After the initial sketches, I realized the app didn't have enough interactive features to it, so I decided to add a small level of gamification by adding scores and a leaderboard, and by incentivizing students to do more lessons in the app in order to receive more 'fake' money they could invest
Outcome & Lessons
I learned so much while working on this project. One thing I learned is that no matter how complex the topic can be, there is a way to make it interactive and fun based on the audience. I also learned more animation/prototyping tricks on Figma, which I think will be very useful in the future. I'm looking forward to continue expanding my Figma skill set.
