I choose comfortable inviting colors such as blue, pink, green, and orange.

Testing is still being conducted but here the results so far:

accomplished more efficient lay out as measured by time completing a task by creating a more child center design.

Increased efficiency by 50% in participants .
-
95% of teachers agreed that the Blue app (updated design) was more child friendly and would choose it over the red app (original)
Next Steps

I will now begin the process of working with an engineer to get the new designs up and running.
