About this Project:
After I select the account Me, you will be brought to a prototype homepage that has a few books that are accessible with short summaries of the book in the bottom. When you select a book and hit play you will be brought to a prototype book page that has the audio feature in the top left corner.
And that is all we have today to showcase but we'd like to express why we feel like our app is more important than the other contestants apps. We feel that an app that gives the user an option to listen instead of reading can help a bunch of kids that actually have trouble reading due to multiple reasons or don't like reading because kids equate it with testing or other reasons. We also want to change the negative perception that kids have of books and reshape that perception to start to look at books as more of a task or test then a means of fun and we feel like our app can change that.

Makes Me Think
Feedback from the Judges:
👏 Program Coordinator, Design League DIIT at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
Amazing work! I love the concept for this project; it reminds me of a more youth-inviting version of Audible. I think it is so important to recognize the opportunity in creating youth-driven/centered versions of apps that are typically targeted toward adults! The layout of the book directory seems very easy to navigate, and the audio playing over the pages would be great for manga + comics. I would love to see this be fully developed. Great job!

I really loved the concept of this app it really shows an interest in literacy and this generation's youth. As a suggestion, I would really like to see more books than just comics, but everything else I really like! Nice job.
