Every Kid Is A Scientist

Overview

Big Bang Academy, an ed-tech startup in Hong Kong, aimed to diversify its offerings by introducing a self-directed web-based application known as "Big Bang Lab."

This app, featuring interactive storytelling and hands-on experiments, was designed to help children learn core science concepts at home, extending their mission of providing online STEAM classes during the COVID era.

Challenge

Big Bang Academy endeavored to secure essential community support and funding through a strategically crafted Kickstarter campaign that centered on engaging parents and children as its primary audience. The aim was to leverage the platform's community-driven nature to rally support for their innovative educational endeavor, Big Bang Lab.

This campaign served as a pivotal means to not only secure financial backing but also to cultivate interest and garner backing from those invested in fostering interactive and engaging educational experiences for children.

Solution

The Kickstarter initiative was meticulously tailored to resonate with parents, employing a child-centric design strategy enriched with a gentle pastel color palette. This approach harmonized seamlessly with the endearing "chippers," the key characters within the Big Bang Lab application.

Extending this playful concept across the campaign, it reflected in a diverse array of elements, including enticing rewards, informative infographics, and vibrant GIFs vividly illustrating the app's functionality and appeal to children.
