The Design
About Habitat Vzdělávací hračková stavebnice
Habitat je sada vzdělávacích hračkových kostek určená pro děti předškolního věku. Kostky ukazují, jak změna klimatu poškozuje ekosystémy, a podporují u dětí včasné povědomí o ochraně přírody. Součástí jsou dvě prostředí: tající ledovec a odlesněný les. Děti odhalují problémy, obnovují prostředí a vracejí zvířata do jejich přirozených stanovišť. Kostky jsou vyrobeny z korkové kůry, takže při jejich výrobě nedochází ke kácení stromů. Korek je antistatický a odolává prachu. Přechody tvarů a barev umožňují volné a neomezené skládání.

- Research
- Research Type: Team Teaching - Science, Art, Mathematics
Objective: To learn and understand the effects of climate change and the habits of daily life
Methods:To collect the causes, effects, mitigation and adaptation measures of climate change.Based on the analysis of commercial toys, this paper classifies the suitable play methods for children's age development, and analyzes the quality of toys, aiming at sustainable materials.A questionnaire was designed to investigate the environmental problems and improve the environment of children by interviewing with teachers.
Data collection: climate change-related data analysis, 3-6 years old teaching toy market analysis, mass lifestyle analysis, early childhood teachers' opinions analysis.
Research tools: Rhinoceros 3D, Solidworks, Adobe Illustrator, procreate. - Inspiration
- According to the United Nation called for Sustainable Development Goals, two climate change issues namely the melting of arctic glaciers and over-deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, it brings out the seriousness of ecological damage cause by human, eventually global temperature rise, starvation, extinction of species. Let children learn and understand the effects of climate change to daily life, to develop their environmental concerns and habits from an early age education see its urgency.
- Project Duration
- The project began in August 2022 and was completed in Tainan, Taiwan in March 2023.
