KIDKIT
KIDKIT is an IoT system of connected components equipped with actuators, sensors, and interfaces to feature a dynamic, and expressive experience for children’s low-threshold exploration. We design it for the young visitors at Maker Faire with the intention that children are able to engage in self-guided exploration activities and discover a complex system on their own.
