Learn-It was my first major multidisciplinary project at Wentworth. The Problem Statement: The need is an increase of STEM related toys. This is important because there is a higher demand for STEM related jobs with diminishing numbers of qualified employees. Currently available designs include building blocks, magnetic gears, robots and take-apart toys. The users need a design to be attractive to young children and user-friendly. Our solution will encourage STEM learning at a young age by focusing on aspects of STEM fields working together in a safe manner. It will be at most $150, portable, and have at least one 3D printed/laser cut component.
Background Information: Guided to children between the ages of 3 - 6 (preschool - kindergarten) At that age children can recognize and recall information Toy needs to keep child's interest and still educate them
