Titan
Academic Project @ Universidad de Guadalajara
Team Partners: Adan López López / Valeria Hidalgo y Costilla Castellanos Product Design12 weeks 2024
Contribution: Design / Research / C.M.F. / Visualization / CAD
Titan is a multifunctional toy designed for children aged 3 to 5, aimed at fostering physical and cognitive development through active play. Titan was design with a modular design, Titan can transform into different configurations, such as a balance bike and scooter, promoting both creativity and active play.
Titan´s interchangeable and optional accessories further encourage imaginative play.
While designing Titan’s play and build features, I considered how kids interact with toys both with and without parental help. Younger children might need assistance at first, but as they grow, Titan’s system of oversized screws ensures that assembly and disassembly are easy and intuitive. This approach not only supports their development but also allows them to engage more independently as they gain confidence and skills.
As part of our project development, we conducted field research at a kindergarten, interviewing children aged 3 to 5 through playful activities. The research involved engaging the children in a series of recreational exercises, beginning with educational games and concluding with a group interview.
We discovered that the toys children enjoyed the most were those that allowed them to express themselves and engage in imaginative play.
