About Tetra 커넥터 색상 마커

Tetra는 아이들을위한 대화 형 조립 장난감이있는 재미있는 컬러 마커이며, 테트라 마커의 아이디어는 아이들이 창의력을 발휘할 수 있도록 격려 할뿐만 아니라 잉크가 마르면 단순히 쓰레기통에 버리는 것보다 마커를 재사용하도록 장려하는 것입니다. 아이들 사이에서 재사용에 대한 인식을 개발하고 향상시킵니다. 테트라 캡 모양으로 쉽게 누르고 뺄 수 있습니다. 아이들은 각 캡과 펜 배럴을 모아 모양을 형성하고 새로운 추상 모양을 만들기 위해 탐구 할 수 있으며, 상상력에 따라 규칙을 구부리고 새로운 구조를 생각 해낼 수 있습니다.

Production Technology: Tetra markers are made of HDPE plastic and injection molded part.
Design Challenge: The first challenge was to understand how to encourage children to develop social skill through a product. The second challenge was designing this cap product’s functionality as a toy to create abstract and beautiful shapes by connecting the same shape.
Research: The initial stage of online and market research showed a lack of new children stationary or toys which engage and positively impact children behavior and social skill. The next stage of research was performed on different toys which encourages interaction and helps develop social skills. I look to repurposing of the Tetra Marker cap to not only encourage children to be creative, but to encourage children to think about reuse rather than simply discarding these into the trash after ink dried up and I want to create a new paradigm for children’s products that encourage unique new behavior and a productive afterlife for the product.
Inspiration: The main inspiration for tetra markers to not only encourage children to be creative but also encourage them to think about reuse the marker pens instead of it being thrown away after ink dried up and this will help children to develop social skill and raise awareness of reuse among them starting at small ages and collecting the pens for children to play with them will have an important and enhancing role on the consumer preference.
Project Duration: The Tetra color marker concept started in Jan 2018 in Noida, India and finished in March 2018.
Operation Flow: The shape of a tetra cap makes it easy to press and pull out. Also, kids can put each cap and pen barrel together through the snap-fit to foam a shape and explore imaginative crafts.
