English Islands is revamping the design of its AI-powered literacy platform. In this project, students will help design & create games that help students learn how to read. No coding skills are required, but experience in UI/UX design, computer science and Figma prototyping would be a strong background for working on this project.

Instead of building games with code, students will use our proprietary no-code design studio to design and create animated literacy games for kids! You can learn more here.

If interested in applying, please include a cover letter briefly outlining any relevant experience and why you're excited about this project.

What you'll do:

• Learn about our early literacy platform and how it helps kids learn to read
• Learn to use our platform to build new games to help kids learn to read
• Test your game designs to ensure everything is working properly

What you’ll achieve:

• Create ~6 literacy games for students across North America to play!
• Build skills in design, especially in educational design/design for kids 
• Learn how to create, edit and test exciting UI/UX for education

Timelines & evaluations:

• Students will work during the summer, approx. 4-6 hours per day
• Students' work will be evaluated on how smoothly the games work, how enjoyable they are for kids, and how well they effectively teach students.
