Osophy is a K-5 blended philosophy curriculum that integrates print, digital, games, and AR into a single hybrid learning system. The design supports flexible implementation for families, teachers, and schools.
The Need
Research shows that teaching philosophy to children improves a variety of learning and social outcomes. Research also shows that this is especially true for students with disadvantaged backgrounds; however, most schools are not implementing philosophy curriculums. This can be because of a lack of information about the benefits of P4C or for budgetary reasons.
Durham University School of Education conducted a randomized control trial which concluded that teaching children philosophy improved development in both math and reading as well as other non-cognitive outcomes:
-
Relationships with school, teachers, and peers
-
Confidence, well-being, and self-esteem
-
Teachers’ attitudes towards pupils’ learning
Process
I grounded Osophy in extensive learning science research and a full mixed-methods discovery process. I conducted qualitative and quantitative research with teachers, students, parents, SMEs, and child psychologists to understand learner needs across K–5. These insights shaped the curriculum structure, multimodal learning activities, and UDL-aligned design.

Hybrid Games
This was a rapid prototype and I leveraged AI-generated voiceover and music, edited in Adobe Audition. We rigged characters and animated them in Adobe Character Animator—my first time using the platform, which taught me a lot about project setup. The first round of art direction landed well, though there is a lot of refinement needed in future iterations.
