Hi Mumsnet!
My name is Joris, and I am a Master's student at the University of Strathclyde. My subject is Design Engineering. As part of my dissertation project, I am designing a purposeful and fun object to help children keep tidy. This product could, in turn, be brought to the market by the client I'm working for.
I might not be a parent yet, but I used to be a holiday activity leader for a few years. We've all been there: toys everywhere, it's time to tidy them up, and nobody wants to do it. It's boring, it's never-ending, and it's repetitive.
What if we made the task of cleaning up a part of play? And what if this part of play was adapted to most toys on the market? No more legos laying around, no more dolls under the bed, and no more missing pieces for a construction set.
Well, to design the perfect product, I need your help! I've chosen to take a human-centred design approach for this project. So far, I screened developmental psychology, got advice from psychologists and analysed the market, but I need your first-hand opinions!
If you have 10 minutes, you could help me immensely by taking this short survey:
Awesome survey 😄(^forms.office.com/r/qZKZ5URVfp^)
Thank you for your time, and feel free to ask questions either here or at this email address: [email protected]
Cheers,
Joris
