Concepts

Idea 1

An interactive app which both parents and children can use to help learn, develop and engage with cursive handwriting, which has now become a mandatory part of the school curriculum for all ages. 


Problem:
Parents and children need to now learn cursive handwriting as part of the curriculum.
Parents are confused and have to attend workshops in schools.
Parents find it hard to practise with children.
Children aren't engaged with it.
harder to get younger children to interact and practice handwriting. 
Children spend lots of times on technology and games, therefore they are more likely to go on an app and practice then sit down with a piece of paper. 

Problems to solve:
Help parents to understand without having to attend workshops in school.
Children can practise at home.
Easy to use.
Engaging so children don't get bored.
Make it more into a game therefore it doesn't feel like school, but they are still learning.
Easy for parents to understand how to help their children.
Free app to download.
Could also be used in school time for children to practise on as well as at home.
