Design Goal and Interaction vision
The design goal: I want to help high school students (14-18yrs) come out to their family and friends by encouraging them to discover and reflect on their identity.
The interaction vision: Harvesting your own vegetables from a private garden: respectful, playful and intimate. Growing your own crops requires attention and dedication.
iD!
iD! is a reflection tool for high school students. It’s a personal ‘creature’ that encourages teenagers todiscuss certain topics and reflect on important themes. This helps them discover, record and reflect on their own identity. High schools provide their students with the product at age 14. From then till graduation the product adapts to each individual, showing their progress and reminding them to reflect. Students use iD! both in class and at home. At school iD! playfully provides them with topics to discuss with a buddy. When they get home they can upload the recorded discussion and reflect on what was said. In the comfort of their own room the teenagers can write down their thoughts, guided by iD!.
