The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17
interlinked objectives designed to serve as a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity
for people and the planet, now and into the future". The SDGs were formulated in 2015
by the United Nations General Assembly(UNGA) as part of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda, which sought to create a future global development framework to succeed the
Millennium Development Goals, which ended that year. They were formally articulated
and adopted in a UNGA Resolution called the 2030 Agenda, known colloquially as
Agenda 2030. The goals are: No poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being , quality
education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy,
decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, Reduced
Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and
Production , Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life On Land, Peace, Justice, and Strong
Institutions , Partnerships for the Goals.
I will be designing for children between the age of 8 to 12 because it will be an excellent
area for children to experiment and contribute in a safe and inspiring way. They can
tap into their imagination to find creative solutions to make everyday life more pleasant.
Moreover, they can learn about support for vulnerable people in their communities.
Designing for kids may be challenging but there are some things to consider such has
Speech/narration support.
Appropriate leveling customisation.
Gamification features.
Relevant learning tools.
Immediate Feedback feature.
In-app Parental Control.
Design content aimed towards either children (8-12) or undergraduates (16-22). The
content currently out there is scientific to be used by adults. Nevertheless what about
children or undergraduate students, Is the content aiding or confusing their
understanding of the SDGs?
From the samples I saw online and the original SDG website I worked on some sketch
like the home screen and goals. I thought of including a map in the design that the
users can interact with. and can even access the goals from there.
I decided to work on an interactive map with roads linking to the different SDGs. When
you hover around anything on the map it tells you which of the SDG IT represents. This
was done with illustrator.
