Design Challenge: Visual disable experience to the most challenging part of this project. Each part of the project are marked with braille notation. By trying the prototype, the team adjust the positions of braille, and show it as what present.
Research: The instructional cards are the musical scores of melodies in preset arrangements with movable square locators on each card to enable a visually impaired person to find the musical note on the card then to find the corresponding node to attach to the tracks.
Inspiration: This project started as a set of toy for anyone in any age/background to enjoy music, but it became much more than just a set of toy.

Project Duration: The project started in 2019 in Taipei and planed to finish in Dec 2020.
