It is intended to help teachers and parents to set the desired type of It empowers kids to recognize their senses, feelings, thoughts, and shape them through LEGO Bricks.
Enhancing Child-Centered design as the project driver.
The entire design process started after my master thesis project, where I saw the power of sounds to spark and engage kids into learning and creativity, and after watching kids playing with LEGO Bricks for the first time in their lives. During the months of work of my master project research, and the close work with a teacher in a school in Colombia after it, I was able to create connections with kids, and also able to test some of the ideas that came to my mind after interacting with the kids. Below I evidence four (04) main achievements in the process:
_Learning through play.
During my exchange with the kids I saw the difficulties that some of the students face to find concentration, energy and motivation to study. Specially in this rural context, different cognitivy difficulties are a challenge that Brickfullness can solve.
_Understanding the kids role.
Creating a settled time, playing and creating a safe space for the kids in their natural surroundings, set the space to spark creativity in kids and let me create the solution with them.
_Safe space, better develpment & life.
Brickfullnes provides a safe space where freedom, creativity and motivation raises, it proposes a new way to use learning trough play and sparks motivation in the topic they choose for Brickfullness.
_Following the 10 guides for Child-Centred Design.
Kids are the co-authors of the experience and I always kept on mind the principles like including them in the process, making the project error free and for everyone, and letting them know everything about the design process and solution.
