Problem Statement
With a rise in social media among the younger generations, a surge of new lingo and slang has developed in modern language. Since much of the jargon is specific to technology usage, there is a barrier in the communication between the youth and the older generation as they struggle to navigate modern technology.
Goal
Design an app that supports active, accessible learning for older adults—emphasizing simplicity, clarity, and ease of use so that learning modern slang feels intuitive, engaging, and enjoyable rather than burdensome.
