Building an educational app for children

Understanding the context, the trends, and how to do it

Traditional school education has served us well so far, but the truth is that its limitations have also burdened the way we taught and learned for generations. You probably experienced this first-hand if you ever struggled to maintain your focus in class, or had difficulty keeping up with your teacher when it would have been most important to take notes.

There’s been a dire need for reform in children’s education for a long time, but the availability of tech and resources simply wasn’t enough to drive meaningful change until recently. We no longer have this excuse today, and education is already starting to look radically different from what most of today’s adults remember it to be.
