Smart Box is a set of modular educational building blocks made to teach basic mathematics to children. The set includes four modules linked by near field communication technology: two number modules, one operation module and one display module. When the modules are brought together correctly, the display module shows the answer and plays a matching sound. The difficulty of the calculation is adjusted by adding or removing modules. Each module measures 35 millimeters. Smart Box combines play and learning to support early education.

Unique Properties
Smartbox is a modular educational toy with a basic math algorithm for Children. It has four NFC algorithm modules, which are two digital modules, one algorithm module, and one display module. When a group of modules gets close to the other correctly, the display module will show the answer of the corresponding algorithm and plays the prompt tone of the answer. Users could adjust the difficulty of the algorithm by increase or decrease the number of modules appropriately.

Research
Education is an essential subject for every family in every country. So enlightenment education can not be ignored, children not only need to absorb knowledge but also stimulate their creativity. Compare to deliberately instill knowledge, playing with learning makes children more active in learning and thinking, more natural to absorb knowledge, which is another form of early childhood enlightenment education! In the future, we hope that more online data analysis can be realized, and the user of information of children can be shared with parents to make parents and children closer!
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from Children's behavior. Children are willing to absorb knowledge with playing, boring teaching makes their acceptance more difficult and slower. Children not only need to absorb knowledge but also stimulate their creativity. Rather than deliberately instill knowledge, the combination of playing and learning makes children more active in learning and thinking, more natural to absorb knowledge, which is another form of early childhood enlightenment education!
