Abhyasu

Abhyasu is a online platform for kids involving computational courses for kids which is taught by experts in the field with over 15 years of experience. This project involved creating their brand and guidelines, a website with information regarding their courses and a dashboard where students and parents can view progress, class notes and more.

Background

Abhyasu.com was an existing platform with the aim to teach computational thinking to students in class 4, 5, 6 and more. However, the website lacked a dashboard and information and was out-of-date and did not communicate the intentions, skill or the results. The classes were also held ad-hoc with no structure in place. So, my job as a UX designer consulting with them was to solve these issues and give them a robust website and dashboard which will solve all these issues.
