#technology vs learning
#design for disassembly
Purpose
Education means play = learn
The kitchen helper is created for early contact with
food and nutritional awareness.
To learn self-efficacy at a young age and other important competencies that accompany us up to old age.
The kindergarten could be where a small group of kids can experience and learn how to prepare food while having plenty of time. The kitchen helper for early contact with food.
​
Haptic sensations
Joy is a haptic kitchen machine that runs with human
empowerment. The whisk rotates by pulling the rope.
The nutrients slide easy from board to bowl.
The Question
There is a lack of cooking with all our senses due to digitalisation and time management.
Parents don‘t want to spend a lot of time preparing food. They buy products like Thermomix to be even faster.
This means we cook less with our senses and are less mindful.
​
How might we offer children an opportunity to get in early
contact with food to earn nutritional awareness?
Design Process
Concept & Design as a team with a focus on design for disassembly in production.
I specialised on: form, renderings and visualisations.
Alma created the model with the CNC-Mill.
I used SolidWorks and Keyshot and the
Adobe Creative Suite.
