Feedback from the Judges:
👏 Product Manager at IBM — Emoti-Con Judge
Your concept stands out with its originality, and I appreciate the breadth of thought in including several different screens and functionalities within the app.
As you continue to develop your concept, consider including a narrated video that speaks to the motivation and thought process behind your idea. This can help your audience better understand your intentions and how your concept has evolved.
Additionally, consider sharing elements such as market research, competitive analysis, personas, and user feedback. These would provide a more complete picture of your concept and its potential impact.
One area of focus could be the "Find Your Language" module, as its purpose isn't clear at the moment. Since there are many language-learning apps already available, clarifying what makes your concept unique could be crucial.
Keep up the good work and remember that every piece of feedback is a chance to grow and improve. I'm excited to see how your concept evolves!

👏 Manager, Design League & Volunteers at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
Wonderful job, Latoya! I love how you wanted to make a change in the school system by allowing students to choose from a more eclectic and diverse list of languages to learn. Your presentation was well put together showing your design process, iterations, and future improvements. The design of your app was clear and informative. However, I was a bit unclear about the purpose of listing languages explored unless it was for your data to help encourage school administrators to diversify the languages offered in school. You did a great job!
👏 Customer Experience Product Manager at Cisco — Emoti-Con Judge
Your slides present the need and the idea very well. I am impressed that you wrote code to build a working mockup so I can really get a feel for how the app works. I like the fact that it immediately educates users but can also inspire them to learn more on their own. It would be cool if you could find ways to direct users to more learning outside the app, for example by providing links to more information about the selected language or to courses where they can learn the language. Great work!

I think it's extraordinary the way you dedicated yourself to explaining your message, your intention and your work with the creation of a mockup on Code.org, using code, and even more when you explain in detail what you want with your app, how it works and how you illustrate the process when you use very well-made and aesthetically appealing slides. More than creating wireframe / mockups, and without realizing it (or maybe you realized it :)) you are documenting your work (which is normally considered the most uninteresting part of the programmer but is one of the most useful), as well as happens in a professional in programming. Furthermore, your intention with this app has a great cultural and social education value.
I share your ideas and your intentions with this project of yours. It reminds me of when I was challenged to build a wireframe, and then a prototype, of a nutrition calculator app. At first, I couldn't imagine what features to give the app, but over time and with the creation of supporting documentation, it became possible and clear. I think you did an excellent job and above all, you can see that you've dedicated yourself to it. In this project, you revealed aspects that a successful professional should have.

Bravo Latoya! Every element of your presentation was excellentfrom explaining your inspiration, to your research, then wireframes and final prototype! I could see this also as a way for the community to share as well, especially indigenous languages and or languages that may be on the brink of extinction. It could easy turn into an very big app that is both a learning tool as well as a resource to study heritage. Great job!
