What are the possibilities that emerge when children are identified as the targeted user and an educational product for the user is identified as the desired outcome?
1. Teaching children moral behavior, codes of conduct, how to respect, love, accept, tolerate other people objects. Folklore and such already do this.
2. Creating material that is concerned with teaching children about issues that are relevant today, such as those concerned with the planet, the environment we live in, ecology and how to preserve and sustain the same.
3. Creating material for kids that inform them about a specific activity (‘how to’ books), or telling stories to kids that are about a specific subject like indigenous crafts, or cultures or people in a certain culture.
4. Addressing fears of a child, using stories as a tool to paint a lighter picture of the object of fear, so that a child may laugh at it rather than cry or feel scared.
5. Taking children from different economic groups and discovering their similarities and differences, what drives them, the differences in their lifestyles, what their dreams and fears are, noting what connections lie between this and compiling the finding into a tactile product. Something that exposes the reality of the vast economic divide.
6. Crafts book for kids. A product(like a book) that tells them stories about certain crafts in India, and also has ideas as to what they could do or make with that craft, with step-by-step instructions and a gallery of ideas. Basically an introduction to Indian crafts for kids.
7. To compile a product, (workbook, interactive toy) which is a compilation of creative exercises designed to make a child think creatively and out of the box. A product that pushes the child to think out of the box, and to practice lateral thinking and to come up with creative solutions and ideas.Some of the exercise, many of which will involve storytelling, can be compiled into a collection of stories for children.
8. A dictionary of sorts for young children (age 6-8) that will introduce them to terms and concepts concerned with the environment and preserving it.
