GrandPaw’s Clinic
A beginner learning kit designed for middle schoolers which teaches them the basics about coding and circuitry.
SPRING 2022
3 Month Project
This is an educational toy, engineered specifically for middle-school students, that instills in them foundational principles of circuitry and coding through the use of Micro:bit.
The toy is packaged creatively in the form of a suitcase. Alongside the toy, the suitcase also includes a letter from a character referred to as 'GrandPaw', which not only lays the groundwork for an engaging narrative but also serves as an instructive manual. Upon opening the suitcase, a miniature clinic is revealed, thus setting the scene for the story. Students can acquire STEM knowledge by role-playing as helpers to the patients in this clinic. This multifaceted design integrates elements of packaging design, game design, app design, and illustration design.
The kit was redesigned during FALL 2024
