NYC Opportunity Uses Human-Centered Design and Prototyping to Inform GrowingUpNYC

August 30, 2017

NYC Opportunity, working with Blue State Digital, created prototypes for Growing Up NYC, a Children’s Cabinet initiative that aims to make programs, resources, and activities for children more accessible. The prototypes were built using a human-centered design process, giving real New Yorkers the chance to engage with the platform and provide feedback for improving it. The prototypes were tested and refined and tested and refined again, and then transformed into a comprehensive digital resource for parents and caregivers of young New Yorkers.
