Three Research Topic Ideas Proposal

Learning Styles

Problem:
People are all very different and learn in vastly different ways. I have grown up battling the educational system and have only recently found out why. I took an inventory of my educational skill levels and found out my learning style is quite different than the average mathematical/scientific/writing educational style. It turns out that everyone is different in their natural skills. In my eyes and the eyes of colleagues who live for improving the educational experience of children, there is a large void that makes learning more difficult for certain types of people.

Purpose:
To create a product to better inform children at a young age of their learning style and help them understand what resources are available to help them along in their journey.

Boys and Girls Club

I attended the Mid-Peninsula Boys and Girls Club as a child and I remember the good and bad things about being there for activities and learning experiences. For that reason I connect with improving the overall experience of attending children, their parents and the staff.

Problem:
The mid peninsula location needs a wayfinding system that is intuitive and apparent to the users of the grounds. It also needs a new front desk and entryway design.

Purpose:
To create a more inviting, friendly and reassuring environment that is user friendly and intuitive.

Problem:
The Daly city location needs a signage revamp.

Purpose:
To help children, parents and staff find their way around the premises since there is currently minimal/unattractive signage.

  1. Your first proposal is awesome. I think learning styles are extremely important and if you could influence education systems to take learning styles into consideration it could make a huge impact for many students.
