About

 Problem:

During the situation of global pandemic, multiple aspects in our life are changed by the need to stay at home. The long existing problem — home parenting is brought to a new level of seriousness. In quarantine life, most parents not only need to work remotely to make their life, but also need to take care of the health and the school work of their kids, which makes the time during pandemic even more frustrating.

Solution:

Based on thorough research and iteration, my team designed KidDo app, which provides parents a community to share quality activities for their kids to play alone, or with them during their spare time, and to learn from those activities.

 

Background
