CapSource Technologies is a company dedicated to connecting students with practical project experiences that enhance learning and career readiness. Known for their innovative approach to experiential learning, CapSource has successfully developed a platform that facilitates collaboration between students and industry partners. However, the company faces a challenge in maximizing user engagement and satisfaction on its educational technology platform.

The current platform, while functional, has areas that could benefit from improved usability and user experience design. This gap affects user retention and overall satisfaction, limiting the platform's potential impact. Addressing these challenges is critical for CapSource to maintain its competitive edge and fulfill its mission of providing valuable educational experiences.

This project provides students with an opportunity to tackle this challenge by applying their skills in UX/UI design. Through a structured approach, students will assess the platform, gather user insights, and develop a prototype that addresses identified issues. Phases of the project will include user research, wireframing, prototyping, and user testing.

The project is ideal for students as it allows them to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, enhancing their skills in design, analysis, and strategic thinking. Exploring this challenge provides students with real-world career skills relevant to consulting, technology development, and user experience design. This project not only enriches their academic journey but also equips them with the expertise needed to excel in the dynamic field of educational technology.
