In the first two weeks of September, we had the privilege to collaborate with the American Printing House to host a two weeklong Designathon at Littleton Highschool. The goal: to create an educational toy for children with limited vision.
This crash course provided lessons and activities teaching students about user research, brainstorming, mock-up development, and user testing. At the end, three teams presented incredible concepts to our panel of judges that addressed various levels of limited vision, ages, interests, and physical and cognitive capabilities. We couldn’t be more impressed by this group of individuals and the impact their concepts will have on the low vision community.
Special thanks to Brian Jernigan for allowing us into his studio to engage with his incredible students, and American Printing House for the Blind for providing our challenge statement, insight, and feedback for continued development. And lastly, thank you to the students who continued to bring creative and thoughtful ideas to life.
