Sam Explorers

Sam Explores offers an innovative solution designed to enhance parental knowledge and understanding of the value inherent in comprehensive sexuality education during a child's early years. Our application provides personalisation features, enabling users to tailor content, schedule information, and access educational resources to support their child's learning journey. This approach not only promotes improved parent-child conversations about sexuality education but also ensures that learning is a continuous, engaging process.

Design Process

1. Research & Discovery

We began with secondary research and survey findings highlighting gaps in school-based sex education and barriers to parent–child communication. Insights showed a strong need for age-appropriate, continuous learning and supportive tools for parents.

4. Design & Iteration

We iterated on content structure, interaction design, and visual hierarchy to ensure clarity and engagement. Interactive elements such as stories, quizzes, and progress tracking were used to reinforce learning and understanding.

5. Final Outcome

The final design delivers a safe, engaging, and inclusive learning experience, enabling children to learn through storytelling while empowering parents with guidance and tools to foster open, judgment-free conversations.

Problem Statement

Several social and cultural considerations influence the extent to which parents are open to addressing sexual education with their children. Consequently, a significant proportion of children in our nation lack comprehensive sexuality education and anti-aggression prevention during their formative years, which can put them into a lifelong trajectory of victimisation or perpetration. Parental awareness of the nature of child sexual education remains limited, leading to a general reluctance to broach the topic of appropriate prevention and guidance with their children.

2. Problem Definition

We identified the core problem as a lack of accessible, structured sex education that supports both children and parents, while respecting cultural sensitivity and reducing discomfort around communication.

3. Concept Development

Based on these insights, we explored solutions that separate learning by audience while keeping them connected. This led to a dual-product concept:

  • An interactive digital storybook for children

  • A mobile application for parents and carers

Each component addresses distinct needs while supporting shared learning goals.
