Encouraging children to fall!
and motivate to pick themselves up
The objective of the workshop was to imagine a product by a company wishing to enter the children sector.
Given the well known philanthropic nature of Microsoft and its founder, Bill Gates, I believed that they were an ideal company for an educational approach.
Hence, I imagined how Microsoft would utilize its values in such a product.
"Your Potential. Our Passion."

I focused my research on the psychological aspect of children while falling down. Studies showed that children start crying due to the shock factor and the reactions from their parents.
Thus, with reverse psychology, I designed a playground to reassure children about falling.
