You have been working at the Willie Wonka Toy Factory for approximately 6 months now. Your supervisor has given you your 6-month employment evaluation, which was excellent. As a result of your great work, your supervisor has informed you that he has chosen you to be tasked with developing educational toys for children. You are excited about this opportunity and readily agree to tackle this challenge. You are assigned to the Research & Development (R&D) Toy Concept Committee. Your instruction is to create a prototype for a NEW, developmentally appropriate, educational toy. The committee chair (Instructor) reminds you that the toy is an organic, dynamic process, therefore, it is not possible to detail all that must go into developing your toy or final writeup. What is written below is to serve as a guide to your open-ended, creative process. You are the creator, the researcher, and the developer. You will take this project from idea inception to presenting ideas for a prototype model. You are not actually making a physical toy but are presenting the ideas in a PowerPoint written format. Pictures and/or graphs should be included.

Sample Solution

  • Title: Educational Toy Prototype
  • Subtitle: A New Way to Learn
  • Author: Bard, R&D Toy Concept Committee

Slide 2: Introduction

  • In today’s world, children are bombarded with information from a variety of sources.
  • It can be difficult for them to focus and learn effectively.
  • Educational toys can help children to learn in a fun and engaging way.
  • This presentation will discuss the development of a new educational toy prototype.

Slide 3: Target Audience

  • The target audience for this toy is children ages 3-5.
  • This age group is at a critical stage of development.
  • They are learning new things every day and are eager to explore the world around them.
  • This toy will help children to learn about science, math, and engineering in a fun and engaging way.

Slide 4: Toy Concept

  • The toy concept is a wooden train set that teaches children about basic engineering principles.
  • The train set includes a variety of different tracks, bridges, and tunnels that children can build to create their own unique designs.
  • The toy also includes a variety of different cars that children can use to race their trains.
  • As children build and play with the train set, they will learn about concepts such as gravity, force, and momentum.

Slide 5: Toy Development

  • The toy was developed using a variety of research methods, including:
    • Literature review: A review of the existing literature on educational toys and engineering education.
    • Expert interviews: Interviews with experts in the field of education and engineering.
    • Pilot testing: The toy was pilot tested with a group of children to get feedback on the design and functionality.

Slide 6: Toy Prototype

  • The toy prototype is currently in the final stages of development.
  • The toy is made from high-quality wood and is durable enough to withstand even the most vigorous play.
  • The toy is also safe for children to use.

Slide 7: Conclusion

  • The educational toy prototype is a fun and engaging way for children to learn about science, math, and engineering.
  • The toy is designed to be developmentally appropriate for children ages 3-5.
  • The toy is currently in the final stages of development and will be available for sale soon.

Slide 8: Thank You

  • Thank you for your time.
  • I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Pictures and/or graphs

  • A picture of the toy prototype would be helpful to illustrate the design.
  • A graph showing the results of the pilot testing would also be helpful to demonstrate the effectiveness of the toy.

Additional Information

  • The toy could be marketed as a STEM toy, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
  • STEM toys are becoming increasingly popular as parents and educators look for ways to engage children in these subjects.
  • The toy could also be marketed as a toy for children with autism or other developmental disabilities.
  • These children often benefit from toys that help them to learn about cause and effect and to develop fine motor skills.

I hope this presentation has given you a better understanding of the educational toy prototype that I am developing. I am excited about the potential of this toy to help children learn and grow.
