Category: Education & learning
Level: Intermediate
Suggested duration: 3–5 weeks

Original UXCharan practice scenario. Validate assumptions; do not present it as a commissioned client project.

## Problem
Parents want to support their children's homework but struggle when instructions are in English. Explore a hypothetical companion app that helps parents understand the task and guide their child without simply giving answers.

## People to learn from
Parents who studied in a regional language helping children with English-medium homework

## Core scope
- Capture or type a homework question
- see it explained in the parent's language
- get tips to guide the child

## Research questions
- How do parents currently help with homework they don't fully understand?
- Where do they feel embarrassed or stuck?

## Edge cases
- Handwritten photo is unclear
- subject the parent has never studied
- child wants the answer directly

## Specific artefact
A side-by-side bilingual explanation pattern

## Evaluation question
Do parents feel more confident guiding their child, and does the child still do the thinking?

## Work to share
