Poly Beat

Poly Beat is a rhythm exercise toy designed for children. Geometric polygons are used to make musical rhythm visible, helping children understand notes and rhythm patterns. The toy is made of injection-moulded plastic. Children insert note blocks into discs and place four discs into a column base. A camera at the top reads the colours of the blocks, and one button plays the matching rhythmic sound. A second button switches the sound to drums, marimba, piano or guitar. Free assembly of the blocks allows children to create their own rhythms.

Candy

Candy is a home 3D printer for children that prints edible shapes from candy granules. The machine is controlled by a mobile application, which allows the printing order, number and size of each model to be set. Three tanks hold three different candy flavours, so taste and colour can be combined in one print. The granules are heated, melted and formed through a nozzle. The body is made of plastic with a matte surface, and a transparent acrylic window opens by a spring switch to remove the finished candy. The design is inspired by the Chinese folk art of sugar figure blowing.
