We helped the Museum of Science utilize existing content tailored for young learners and showcase it on a new digital platform, increasing engagement for students.
The Museum of Science asked us to transform their traditional curriculum in a way that would enable teachers to showcase complex scientific concepts, while making the content more engaging for young learners.
We built the Museum of Science’s first fully web-enabled platform for serving digitized ‘storybooks’ that deliver interactive content across a wide range of science topics.
To scale this project, we designed a pilot program in collaboration with a team of educators from Museum of Science, using local test feedback to refine the prototype and prepare for a national launch within 10 weeks of launching the pilot.
Alipes developed the technological strategy, UI, UX, code, and creative for the interactive “Storybooks” platform, including the solutions for the in-browser experiment animations. We delivered this through an innovative, distributed, and scalable web application built on Laravel and VueJS, hosted in the cloud, and infinitely updatable—either by our team or by the team at Museum of Science.
Alipes digitized all of the print copy, and supported the translation of that copy into other languages.
Results:
Our results included 20 digital storybooks, each in multiple languages, in full and abridged form. We also created 20 interactive science experiments to represent concepts from each storybook. Highlights of the solution include text-to-speech capabilities, a robust analytics platform for measuring learner engagement, and a 100 percent improvement in accessibility, including for those with special needs such as dyslexia.
