Interaction Design (Frontend Web and Mobile App UI / UX Design & Prototype)

For our startup in the initial stage, the main objective of this project is to create an interaction design for a frontend web and mobile app UI/UX that embodies a seamless, user-friendly experience for managing contributions. The app aims to facilitate trust-based group savings, secure payments, and trackable contributions, ultimately supporting financial empowerment. Tasks may include: Research & Ideation: Analyze our app's purpose, target audience, and goals to ensure alignment with the UI/UX design. Conduct user journey mapping to understand user flow and key touchpoints. Compile and present initial design ideas, personas, and mood boards. Wireframing and Information Architecture Develop low-fidelity wireframes for all core screens (registration, group creation, payment tracking, escrow, and notifications). Define a clear information hierarchy that highlights intuitive navigation for the main features. Learning and using various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as this is the latest and greatest tool currently available. High-Fidelity UI Design Design high-fidelity mockups for web and mobile, focusing on accessibility, clean layout, and brand colors. Ensure that key actions (group creation, payment scheduling, payout tracking) are visually prominent. Prototype Development Build a clickable prototype that allows for interaction testing (e.g., onboarding, joining a group, viewing contribution status). Ensure the prototype includes animations or transitions for an engaging, responsive user experience. Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI prototype of a native mobile application which can be used on both iOS and Android User Flow and Interaction Testing Conduct usability testing sessions with potential users to gather feedback on the prototype. Refine designs based on feedback, focusing on improving flow, accessibility, and ease of navigation.

Patent Research and Documentation for Technological Innovations

Starmass Canada is at the forefront of technology innovation and is preparing to patent five groundbreaking innovations. The goal of this project is to conduct thorough research and compile comprehensive documentation to support the patent application process. This project provides learners with the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge of intellectual property and research methodologies to real-world scenarios. The team will focus on gathering relevant data, analyzing existing patents, and ensuring that the documentation meets the necessary legal and technical standards. This project is designed to be completed by a team of learners from a technology or engineering program, allowing them to gain valuable insights into the patenting process and the intricacies of intellectual property management.

Digital Media Creation for Introductory Statistics

NeuroKeep aims to enhance the learning experience in introductory-level statistics courses by developing engaging and modern digital instructional materials. The goal is to create a suite of creative and artistic content that can make complex statistical concepts more accessible and enjoyable for students. This project involves designing a variety of digital media, including images, videos, GIFs, and potentially 3D models, to visually represent statistical ideas and principles. Additionally, students will create unique content for an introductory stats course that will be delivered via adaptive educational software. The focus is on producing content that is both educational, visually appealing, and helps students learn stats concepts in the most impactful way. The project is an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of statistics and digital media design, combining technical skills with creativity to produce high-quality educational materials.
