Redesigning the ecosystem
of an EduTech product
I researched how an Education Technology product could be most effective in high-school to coach creative problem solvers. I collaborated with SAM Labs to research how their product could better impact the students.
The final outcome of my research is the development of the Terrarium kit: an Edtech kit that helps teachers coach creative problem solvers. And helps students tackle relevant problems in a creative way.
The Terrarium kit consists of new hardware (SAM Labs blocks and prototype help), new software and a new curriculum; which is the same format as other SAM Labs products. Different schools have different needs, certain schools are at higher technology-level than others. Teachers can be hesitant to use new EdTech products or be innovators and push colleagues to use EdTech products. Therefore the SAM Labs Terrarium kit should be adjusted to three levels: beginner level, intermediate and expert.
