Case Study: Miller Middle School achieves hands-on app prototyping and student innovation with Justinmind

Mobile app prototyping at Middle School

Justinmind partnered with Miller Middle School when science teacher Terry Chou reworked her class to teach innovation, business and technology instead of traditional science fairs. Faced with managing dozens of student projects and introducing 7th–8th graders to product development and customer discovery, she launched the SEARCH elective to combine science enrichment with entrepreneurship — and needed an easy-to-learn prototyping tool for student app projects.

Justinmind became the class’s go-to app prototyping tool: its drag-and-drop UI kits and on-device simulation let students quickly turn ideas into interactive mockups, test usability and iterate. Integrated with the SEARCH process, it helped teams validate concepts, build web and app prototypes, present to judges and gain real-world skills in design, problem solving and entrepreneurship — boosting confidence and preparing students for future tech opportunities.
