CLASSMATE PC

As part of HFI’s Contextual Innovation Team, I collaborated on a project with Intel to develop innovative product ideas in the education domain. The outcome was EDUWISE, a concept device designed to enhance learning experiences for students and teachers — which later evolved into the Classmate PC (CMPC), a laptop for children.

• Conducted secondary research on existing educational technology products.

• Led brainstorming and design ideation sessions to generate early product concepts.

• Developed user scenarios informed by contextual research.

• Facilitated participatory design sessions with students, teachers, and parents.

• Conducted classroom observations to understand real-world learning environments.

• Designed research materials including posters, protocols, and questionnaires.

• Carried out direct and group interviews to capture user needs and behaviors.
