Hello! I am working on a website for a summer day camp I am co-creating at my unversity that teaches math and art together. I am very excited to begin working on the website, plan to have two different versions, one before and one after. The before will have a goal of recruitment and information, while the second will be about the events that occured, resources for other educators to use, and research findings culminated from the case study. Here is my information layout:

The most fitting celebrity I could think of is Ellen Degeneres. I know that the first think that comes to mind with Ellen is LGBTQ, but she is the most down-to-earth and accessable celebrity I could think of. She is also fresh, fun-loving, and charitable, all things our organization thrives to be.

Interaction Methods

Humor- humoring the user will bring them closer into the experience, and closer with the organization.

Invitations- By inviting users to interact with us and communicate, we will open up discussion panels and modes of communication. This will bring the user and the organization and community closer together.

Questions- By asking the user questions, we can target users that need exactly what our organization has to offer, and help them to realize what they can gain from us.
