A Design Thinking led approach to uncover and understand the potential learning gaps among the Elite Middle-school space, and explore Strategic directions for Product development.
Study was conducted among 3 prominent stakeholders involved in the education of a child- Students, Teachers and Parents. The aim was to understand different factors, approaches and perspectives contributing to the learning process of the middle-schoolers.
