Connect
Making Dreams Accessible
Discovering your passions can be scary when there are so many choices. Connect helps students explore possible career interests by narrowing the selecton to the ones they truly care about.
Students can search through Connect's database to learn about a variety of interests and see role models in each field. When an interest speaks to a student they can save it to refer back to as needed.
After discovering possible interests, students can search for low cost opportunities relating to those fields. They can optimize their search criteria to find the perfect program to fit their needs.
At this stage in development the team divided to brainstorm methods of increasing low-income and minority students' accessibility to higher education. Connect was one of the concept designs!
Our first attempt at building Connect was a low fidelity paper prototype. We tested this prototype with multiple users to find areas for improvement and features that should be retained.
Our second attempt at building Connect utilized Wizard of Oz techniques to simulate the app running. We revised our original concept based on feedback from user tests.
