DEFINE (focus on Children)
I choose children as my target group because there are many children in the Science museum and most of them are 6-12 years old. Because of boring words, my idea is edutainment, which makes 6-12 years old children gain knowledge in the play. So my purpose is creating an APP for 6-12 years old children to learn something in the play.
According to my target group, I did a user mapping and made a persona.
