Casa Azul Productions
Casa Azul Productions is an EdTech consulting company, started with a pilot called Casa Azul Productions’ Apprenticeship Program, a program funded by the US State Department Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs through an Alumni TIES grant in 2020.
We collaborate with institutions to create engaging virtual experiences for diverse learners that integrate storytelling, culturally relative content, and multimedia learning.
Design Principles:
Stakeholder Engagement
Conduct a needs analysis to identify learning requirements based on the organization’s goals, user’s needs, and stakeholder’s interests.
Learner-Centered Design
Design and craft courses with content that is relevant, motivational, and engages students in active online learning.
Multicultural Learning
Culturally relative content creation based on the users’ culture, demographics, background, geographical location, and learning needs.

What our Happy Student Say
As a student, my great achievement was to obtain my illustration certificate from Casa Azul. Because thanks to that course I have been able to use everything I learned for my class proyects and also for personal projects. For example, about a month ago I created an illustration for the MEChA club, which is a leadership group in the school that represents Hispanic culture and I am part of the designer team. Through this course I was able to create an illustration for a mural that the MEChA club wants to create at school.
