Synopsis

The project objective was to design and develop playful activity kits for children of the fifth and sixth grades, which make learning science fun, enjoyable and meaningful.

The final deliverable was a series of independent games based on the principles of magnetism. These tactile games provide a hands-on learning experience and successfully eliminate the ‘boredom’ factor that children generally associate with the existing antiquated methods of science experiments. The games can be played individually or in groups. A brand identity and design language along with eco-friendly packaging for the kits was also designed.
