Learn by Doing - Project Overview

"Learn by Doing" is a friendly platform designed to help those who feel left behind by technology. It’s like having a patient tech-savvy friend by your side, guiding you through everyday tech tasks with easy tutorials. Whether you want to send an email, make a video call, or just find a recipe, this platform makes it simple and stress-free.

Inspiration

Since as long as I can remember, my parents have had trouble figuring out how to use smart devices like iPhones, Smart TVs, or any type of digital interface. I assumed they’d figure it out like I have, but they just aren’t familiar with these types of devices. They are older and grew up in Mexico during a different time. This inspired me to create a solution that makes technology accessible for everyone, especially for those who didn't grow up with it.

Vision

Initially, we planned to develop a mobile app, but after receiving valuable feedback, we realized that starting with a web version would better serve our target audience. Many in our target audience might not know how to download and use a mobile app, so we’re focusing on creating an easy-to-navigate web platform first.

Real-Life Insights

Platform includes:

Video Tutorials: Visually demonstrating each step for clarity.
Text Guides: For users who prefer reading.
Interactive Elements: To provide a hands-on learning experience.

Real-Life Insights

I had a quick interview with my mom and asked her these questions regarding her iPhone:

What are some troubles you have when using your phone?
What do you wish you knew how to do?

These were some actions and responses I got:

She uses a PIN to unlock her phone (Touch ID would be more convenient).
She has trouble using the keyboard.
Learning how to send a text message.
Trouble scrolling as if she’s scared to touch too hard or she touches too hard.
Learning how to email.
Learning how to get directions.
Learning how/where to read news.
How to watch cooking videos.
How to download an app.
How to Google.

My mom had a huge smile after being able to find a recipe on the Tasty App! I think there’s an audience for this.

Current Progress

We’ve been actively posting updates on social media to gather feedback and engage with our potential users. The response has been encouraging, and we’re excited to share that we’re currently working on launching a sign-up page to gauge interest. This will help us understand the needs of our users better and tailor our content to serve them effectively.

Next Steps

Launch the Sign-Up Page: To gather initial interest and feedback.
Develop the Web Version: Creating a responsive design that is easy to use.
Expand to Mobile App: Once the web version is established, we’ll move on to developing a mobile app.
Create Tutorials: Develop both text and video tutorials for a range of tech tasks.
Promote on Social Media: Use various platforms to reach and engage with our target audience.
Iterate and Improve: Continuously gather feedback and make necessary improvements.
