Arduino Science Journal is a free app that helps students to learn interactively, conduct experiments and iterate on findings whilst also being linked to the science curricula in the US and UK.
The Teacher Plan is a subscription service that can be added over the Arduino Science Journal app, that allows teachers to integrate the Science Journal app with Google Classroom and share this integration with students.
The app and all learning materials are free, open-source, and available for download for Android and iOS devices.
Arduino set three fundamental points as a need for the evolution of the Science Journal app:
1. Simplify, improve and enrich the user experience
2. Give a new look and feel to the user interface, consistently with the Arduino design system
3. Re-engineer the application, in order to make the maintenance process more fluid and simple, with the use of cutting-edge techniques
The addition of the Google Classroom integration has empowered education organisations to have a seamless way to assign homework and experiment tasks straight from the app.
User research and user tests were conducted to provide an overview, whilst analysing the current situation, collecting user needs, discovering pain points and business goals, which enabled our design team to map out new features, define the information architecture and develop user tasks.
The main goal of the UX was to create a new experience without disrupting the habits of over 1.5 million current users of the application therefore demo sessions were a mandatory step to validate the prototypes.
