Project Overview
LearnWyrm is an educational gaming platform designed to make learning engaging and effective through gamification and AI-powered instruction. The project focuses on transforming traditional learning methods into interactive, memorable experiences that work for any subject or skill.
Deliverables
Phase I: Problem & Research
We began by defining the problem: traditional learning often relies on worksheets and drills that are boring and passive. Through user interviews and persona development, we uncovered the importance of intuitive design and the need to balance fun with measurable learning outcomes across any subject area.
Interviews and User Research
Phase II: Hypothesis & Validation
Based on our research, we developed hypotheses about user behavior and classroom integration. We conducted validation sessions with teachers and students to refine these assumptions, ensuring we stayed grounded in real user needs.
Phase III: Ideation & Design Sprint
Using techniques like Crazy 8s brainstorming, we rapidly generated a wide range of solutions. These sketches helped us explore both playful and practical ideas for gamifying learning practice. We mapped user journeys to capture teacher and student workflows. This gave us visibility into key pain points and opportunities where AI-powered gamification could enhance learning experiences across different subjects and learning contexts.
Our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in education technology, game design, and learning science to create an effective solution.
Next Steps
This project is currently in active development. Check out the live prototype below, which is updated weekly with new features and improvements as we continue refining the platform based on user feedback and testing.
