ReconstructED
Innovative technology and immersive learning experience in VR and desktop to solve a real-world educational challenge of inspiring secondary school students to understand and engage with the profession of land surveying
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Client
Class Of Your Own (COYO), a provider of STEM-focused built environment and infrastructure learning programs.
Problem
Traditional site visits for construction training are limited, costly, and hazardous and one-off visits only offer a snapshot, hindering deeper understanding and no opportunity for experimentation.
MY ROLE
UX/UI Designer
My task was to Improve the user experience based on feedback from students and interviews with teachers and the client.
SOLUTION
