Industrial Design

Sunflower

Project developed within the non-profit organisation MyMachine with the cooperation of several workshops, the University of Caldas da Rainha (Portugal) and an elementary school.

In an academic context it was proposed to participate in a project, in which children from an elementary school discussed ideas to develop a toy for the classroom.

The first image corresponds to the drawing made by the children, a sunflower. The function of the toy is to turn on the red lights around the petals when children talk loudly, because they disturb the concentration of the classmates. When the children calm down the petals turn green.

The second image shows the finished toy ready to be included in the classroom.

The third image highlights the brightness of the petals.

Thank you
