Design Brief

Design thinking helps young minds develop a growth mindset in addition to important problem solving, analytical, and spatial-thinking skills. Design thinking embodies skills that will be valued in jobs that haven’t been created yet. It can be extremely challenging for high school students to learn about the many career opportunities in the design world. Amazon is committed to creating and leading programs that will inspire and prepare the next wave of designers for prom- ising careers in tech.

Design a tablet app (Android, Fire, iPad, etc) to provide a safe way for high school students (ages 13+) to #DiscoverDesign. This app should encourage students to:
• Discover what design is and how they interact with it every day
• Help them see the impact of good or bad design
• Encourage them to explore jobs/careers in design
• Inspire them to start their own career in design
