About this Project:
Our app is an app that provides a way for middle school students and teachers to communicate and also provides extra help for students with vocabulary, ELA, math, and science. If any students is struggling with their homework or need help with their school work in general they can go to the “Homework Help” section. If a student is struggling with their work another option is to go to the “Communication” section and they can call or text a teacher for help if the video is not helpful.
The issue our project addresses is that some students might need extra help with their classwork or their family might have a question to ask to the teacher but they don’t have a way to get extra help with their school work or be able to contact the teacher so, our app provides a way for students to contact teachers and provides a way for students to get extra help with their school work.
If a student needs extra support with homework or assignments, or their parents need to contact a teacher they can call or text a teacher directly through our app. Another way a student can get extra support with their homework or assignments is that they can go to the “Homework Help” section where our app provides links to videos related to what you are learning to so they can also use these links for extra support.

Feedback from the Judges:
Wooww! I loved following through your process. I particularly love your attention to the design of the app, considering things like font and colours which make a big difference in how your users interact and interpret the app. I like the idea of the app because sometimes you might be shy to ask for help in class but you do need that extra support, so this way each child gets the care and attention they need! I would've loved this when I was in school. I wonder if the app might have a feature for kids to test their learning style, that could be useful information for teachers to know and be able to help the child better? Great job on how thorough and detailed the project is.
Definitely impressed with the design direction on this one! On UX, this one is an A+! Additionally, it solves for an interesting issue, which is to provide additional support to students who might need it. As a next step consideration, perhaps think about how the system might account for how much help is needed on a subject. For instance, how would it treat someone who's just looking to have something clarified, vs someone who has not yet fully grasped a lesson?
Very nicely done!
Very nicely done!
Love the idea, and such a great need to the education community as a whole! This would streamline the learning experience and give students the upper hand in control of their education and interests. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love this idea. The app is innovative, creative, and aesthetically pleasing. Especially for remote learning or even using technology, this will allow many students to communicate, and receive help from teachers faster or when urgently needed. Therefore, it's a really helpful app.

This is a very helpful app and can really bring the whole school community together. Have you thought about adding a parent piece?
