Product Type｜Middle School Math Animated Video & Comic Book
Role｜Visual & Concept Design, artist, animation production
Under the leadership of Dr. Matthew Peterson, a team of eight of us came together to create a series of animated prototypes catered specifically to middle-school students, supporting a new classroom learning platform. Diverging from MIND's familiar elementary ST Math style, we opted for a more mature comic style to captivate and engage middle-school students, encouraging them to learn math through enjoyable reading experiences.
As the sole artist on the team, my primary responsibility was collaborating with the content writer and interaction designer to create visual prototypes for a three-layer learning collaborative. This included developing a comic book and an animation video designed for classroom use.
R&D projects significantly contributed to securing grants (e.g., from EF+Math) by showcasing innovative educational approaches and inspiring future products, such as InsightMath.
