Concept

A mobile platform empowering educators to request and receive donated resources during natural disasters.

Problem

When disaster strikes, educators are left behind. In the chaos of evacuation and recovery, schools lose access to basic supplies, communication breaks down, and teachers are left to rebuild their classrooms with little support.

Context & Research

Leading Question

How might we empower educators who
were affected by natural disasters to
request and receive donations with ease?

Identifying the pain points

Goal

To connect educators with donors and simplify the request process.

We explored behavioral continuums to map key differences in how educators respond during a disaster, while affinity mapping and user personas helped us identify the educator type that struggles the most and needs the most support.
