Design Challenge

What is the problem you’re trying to solve? – The problem I am trying to solve is making the college application and finding funding for college easier for high school students in minority area. High school students are often overwhelmed and lack guidance college related topics and due to that they don’t apply at all. I want to help them so they will feel more comfortable on the topic of college.

1.Take a stab at framing this challenge as a question: How can the transition from high to college become easier for high school students in minority areas and educate them in the process as well. 

2. Now state the key outcome you’re trying to achieve: The key outcome I am trying to achieve is having a higher college application rate in minority students.

3.Write down important aspects of the context or constraints that you need to consider: Students not having money for numerous application fees and students grades not being high enough to attend a 4 year university. 

4. What are some possible solutions to your design question?- A youtube channel dedicated to high school juniors and seniors who are planning to attend to college. An app dedicated with the many different college requirements and admissions events in the schools area. Crowd funding so students can attend college tour trips. 

5. Does your original design question need a tweak? I don’t think my design questions needs a tweak. After completing the questions my question still works great.
