Joyful Color

Joyful Color is a set of reusable colored pens designed for children. Each pen is made from recycled plastic, and the pen shell gains a second purpose after drawing. The pen body can be taken apart with a simple tool, so one pen becomes several small columnar parts. The parts can then be freely assembled through an interlocking structure. Children can move from two-dimensional drawing to three-dimensional building. Each pen measures 110 by 21 by 21 millimeters. The aim is to reduce plastic waste and to support manual skill and spatial imagination.

Rockit

Rockit is a compact rocker that attaches to a pram or stroller and gently rocks it to soothe babies to sleep. Rockit uses a two-fix system. A bracket is fitted high on the stroller frame, and the device clips into the bracket when needed. The device can be moved to another stroller or stored when not in use. A push switch turns Rockit on and a speed dial tunes the vibration to the resonant frequency of the frame, giving a gentle low frequency rock. Tests show the movement is comparable to rocking by hand. Most parts are injection moulded in ABS with TPR over-moulds.

Candy

Candy is a home 3D printer for children that prints edible shapes from candy granules. The machine is controlled by a mobile application, which allows the printing order, number and size of each model to be set. Three tanks hold three different candy flavours, so taste and colour can be combined in one print. The granules are heated, melted and formed through a nozzle. The body is made of plastic with a matte surface, and a transparent acrylic window opens by a spring switch to remove the finished candy. The design is inspired by the Chinese folk art of sugar figure blowing.

E yes

E Yes is a game-based training aid designed to help correct amblyopia in children. Modular combinations guide children through visual zoom exercises, eye muscle training and color discrimination. Lenses on both sides of the telescope module work with augmented reality transparencies, so children can explore the surrounding environment without electric power. Switching focus between near and far objects exercises the eye lens and the ciliary muscle. A vision test panel allows regular checks, so changes in sight can be tracked early. The body is made of polypropylene.
