I was tasked with shipping the first product for both web and iOS. The web product would be available for educators to use as a resource for ecology units. We transformed the curriculum so that it was NGSS-aligned and easy for teachers to use, while also maintaining delightful features for mobile users.
During the initial launch week (February 2018), the app rose to #2 Kids iPad App in the US.
