About the Project: Storytelling Driven Platform for Global Mentorship
Winner of the UX Design Award | Concept 2025
Sprout is a locally founded EdTech platform connecting rural Phuket students with global mentors through character-guided, kitchen-themed learning. Blending storytelling with Canva-powered career lessons and English conversation, Sprout bridges digital literacy gaps while making virtual mentorship joyful, safe, and human. So far, Sprout has impacted two schools with its lean MVP and character-first UX.
