We now share our final application.

Although it is a bit different from the prototype, due to certain limitations, we would like to further iterate and update it in the near future and enable several more features.

You can download the app on mobile devices from the link below : 

Crafteach App

User Testing & Feedback

After completing we reviewed our app by some the old age people. Following are the feedback that we got-

1. Some said they are very happy with the app and our idea 

2. Few suggested about the quiz which will evaluate the experience level of a student -which will be created by themselves or by us

3. Some old age seemed very hesitance for their paradigm shift that is learning new technology. They thought that it will take time to learn and they are very old now

4. Some uneducated old age wanted to take help of the educated ones in their family or neighbour for filling of details as they did not know English and typing.

Insights After Feedback

1.We have to make our app multilingual

2.Create a quiz - evaluating student experience

3.We have to consider the family members and his relatives ( who can support old age in technical issues )as our user, who in turn may convenience them better and help in a paradigm shift,

 Here is a prototype of the Craft Teach app before the final app production.

Through all the context and user analysis, we started building the conceptualizing the solution.

CONCEPT (1)

A platform that helps students learn from old experienced vocational teachers.

Government Policies in our favour- NEP 2020

“NEP aims to begin with vocational exposure at early ages in middle and secondary school, quality vocational education will be integrated smoothly into higher education.” NEP states that important vocational crafts, such as carpentry, electric work, metalwork, gardening, pottery making, etc., will be “sampled” as decided by States and local communities during Classes 6 to 8. The policy proposes that every child should learn “at least one vocation” and be “ exposed to several more”.The Policy also encourages a 10-day bagless with “local vocational experts” to help the students gain a better understanding of the vocation. NEP also proposes similar internship opportunities to students between Classes 6 to 12. "

The policy also proposes ‘local teacher education programs’ in which local resource persons can be hired by schools for shorter courses on vocational crafts.

Considering the Government policies we now see that there would be a vacuum in the market for vocational teachers and this would be the right time to fill this void. 

This vacuum in the market would be large enough to cater to the poor old and skilled labour.

CONCEPT (2) 

An alternate approach to solution was to make a set of ergonomic tools that are suited especially to older craftsmen. The tools could've been optimised to leverage joints and pressure application points of the body that lose the least function with age and relieving strain from parts of the body, which exert most in operation of regular tools and therefore(or otherwise) lose the most strength/function with age.
