Design for Play: Jinx
Children have extraordinary capacities for innovation. All kids have tremendous talents. Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

Modular Design

In this example, Jinx has been showcased with block attachments in 4 main colors: Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. With a rotating mechanism, Jinx can be used to study and learn about complementary colors in classrooms.

Different sets of blocks with different engravings and designs can be produced to be used on this same modular platform to assess in teaching various subjects; whether it's Mathematics, Arts or Humanities.
