At Expii we design our features and experience for high school students. Naturally, interacting with and learning from high school students is integral to the quality of our product. We host user testing sessions each week that provide opportunities for students to engage with Expii on a professional and impactful level. Students give direct feedback on site design, efficacy, ease of use, navigation, and content.
Expii also offers development workshops for students such as: Principles of Design and Your Resume and Building Your Personal Brand. We believe that these will give students exposure to career tracks in the field of technology and a boost on job materials.
One local Pittsburgh organization, Neighborhood Learning Alliance, has partnered with Expii to give its students access to these workshops. The Neighborhood Learning Alliance employs high school students as literacy and STEM tutors, who provided professional development opportunities each week.
