Students design learning toys, exploring woods, polymers, modelling materials and microcontrollers like Micro:bit and Crumble for interactive prototypes.

Inspired by Industry: Yoto

This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the design and creation of toys to help children learn. While the company specialise in screen free audio players, the context is adaptable to other types or learning toy. This context provides opportunities to explore woods and polymers as well as prototyping materials such as card and expanded foam. This context could also encourage the exploration of simple electronics and/or mechanical systems. This may be through the use of Micro:bit or Crumble where they can allow for some prototyping of products that react to inputs.
