Background

This project was part of an educational science series designed for elementary and middle school students. The client, a renowned science network, produces a diverse range of content, including TV shows, magazines, and web materials.

The Challenge

Over the years, the client developed hundreds of interactive science games, each created at different times and by various teams. As a result, the games lacked a consistent visual style and user experience. The outdated designs no longer resonated with today's tech-savvy students, and inconsistencies in navigation, interface elements, and overall aesthetics created confusion and reduced engagement. A unified, modern solution was needed to align with current design trends and educational standards.

The Goal

The objective was to establish a cohesive, modern visual identity for all games while enhancing the user experience. The focus was on creating a student-friendly interface with engaging interactions and animations to boost learning and enjoyment.
