    The document proposes an outdoor learning device for children ages 3-6 to encourage socialization and learning. The interactive device would be installed in a park and trigger letter sounds when stepped on, allowing children to learn spelling and socialize by playing together. It is intended to address a lack of social skills that may develop if children only learn at home through screens instead of interacting with others outdoors. The designer is considering using an Arduino board and MP3 shield to trigger different letter sounds when touch sensors are activated.

    To build a learning environment OUTDOOR

    My concept is to build a interact-able learning devices for children. To encourage parents to take their kids outside the house and to learn and to socialise with other children. This is to prevent children having socialising problems in the later age. (Parents tempt to teach their kids from 6 months to 6 years learning at home based on internet, computer, tv, books and ipads, without noticing this may effect their children and lead to lack of socialising skills )

    The device will be installed outdoor, most likely in the park. At rst target audiences may not know what the device is for... maybe need something to indicate and encourage the audience to step on it.

    Once the audience takes the rst step....

    Trigger

    They will know that every time they step on one letter, a sound of that letter will be triggered.

    Interact with the device


    Kids then will interact with the device, have some fun!

    More importantly children get to interact with others, build up socialising skills in early stage

    The parents may teach their kids by asking them to spell, fun to play with!

    NI myDAQ from National Instrument

    This is called myDAQ made by national instrument. However I found out it is quite hard to get, and its actually over my budget. Plus it would take 30+ days to get it shipped over to Australia....So I am now thinking of some other ways to create the same result via Arduino.

    MP3 Player Shield

    I may need to use the mp3 player shield to create sound letter from A-Z. Maybe a few touch sensor board to trigger each different letter when audience trigger the wire. Again, Im not sure how to make it work yet, If you have a better idea or advice, please let me know and Ill reconsider my method. Thank you Elmer.
