Infant learning platform using Arduino (project 3)

Abstract

Nowadays, with the improvement of human living standards, people no longer have to worry about their children's physical nutrition. Instead, parents began to invest in regards to their children's intelligence and behaviour ability to make their children smarter and more energetic. Preschool education has become a hot topic. This final year project is to develop a toy which must be educative for children which are designed and programmed by Arduino to train kids with the ability of concentration. Rather than simply follow the requirements of the subject to complete the project, surveys have been done with several parents with their children about playing with toys to study the profound significance of education. Based on some survey, the study found that children prefer to play games according to their own rules. However, today's high-tech toys limit children imagination. This study report fills the research gap by designing the game as an open-ended for children so that children are the inventor of this toy. This report records the process of the toy development, from the introduction, literature research hardware and software development. And finally. The report concluded with problems, learning point and ideas for future growth. The project includes half year's research process and study efforts and records the whole process from draft ideas to research to the final product.
