Simple Miniature Racing Car for STEAM Learning

We have a few STEM / STEAM (science and tech courses for kids) programs we are designing for, including a miniature radio controlled racing drone. They should run off of a single rechargeable A or AA battery or rechargeable easily found (commonly available) battery. Need designs for the computer controllers (Arduino or similar), software, simple radio remote control and system, electric motor systems, and drive systems engineered. We have the basic frame shape. We are looking for simple, field serviceable designs that kids can take apart and put together and use to learn these technologies. Just like everyone, we want it ASAP.

Hello Designers! We are launching an exciting project to design the ToothSafe, an integral part of an illustrated children's picture book titled The Tooth Fairy's Secret Workshop. The ToothSafe is a whimsical, magical container designed to hold a child's lost tooth and, later, a thank-you dollar bill from the Tooth Fairy. This item is meant to be used repeatedly over the years as the child loses more teeth, creating a special ongoing ritual tied to our story. We are looking for creative designers to bring this product to life, focusing on durability, playfulness, and a sense of wonder. Product Overview: The ToothSafe is a magical container used to store a child's lost tooth and later hold a dollar bill from the Tooth Fairy, adding to the magic of the Tooth Fairy tradition and making her work tangible. In the story, the young boy finds the ToothSafe during his adventure to the Tooth Fairy's magical workshop. The ToothSafe is a device crafted by the Tooth Fairy herself, which the boy replicates to share with other curious children. This connection to the story makes the ToothSafe feel like a genuine piece of the Tooth Fairy’s world, enhancing the magic for children who use it. It will glow in the dark, making it easy to spot during nighttime collections. The product must be child-friendly, with rounded edges and no small parts that could be a choking hazard. The design should be suitable for a target audience of children ages 6-10 and should integrate well with the narrative and illustrations of our book, as it will be used over multiple years as children lose more teeth. The ToothSafe will be packaged with the children's book and should be presented in a way that enhances its display and user experience. We envision the following two packaging options: Back Cover Attachment: A temporary backing attached to the back cover, extending visually, with the ToothSafe attached by a removable adhesive. Removable Sleeve: A sleeve that wraps around the book, featuring a secure slot for the ToothSafe. Material Considerations: The ToothSafe should be made from durable and child-safe materials that can withstand regular use over several years. We are considering materials like: ABS Plastic: Impact-resistant and commonly used in children’s toys. Silicone: Provides a soft-touch, child-friendly feel. Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight, durable, and non-toxic. It should also include glow-in-the-dark elements, potentially using photoluminescent powder embedded into the plastic or as a coating to add to the magical experience of the product. Manufacturing Considerations: The design must be suitable for mass production and cost-effective to produce. It should meet all child safety standards, including being free from lead, phthalates, and any small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Book Size and Integration: The book size is set at 8.5 x 8.5 inches to be easily printable and accessible for young children. The ToothSafe will be integrated into the storyline and illustrations of the book, and we would love to see concepts that embrace this interaction.

I am looking to manufacture balance stepping stones(set of 6pcs per example). I am looking for an innovative, beautiful and entertaining design. Product intended to use for both indoor and outdoor by 1-9 year old. Product must be resistant, slip-free... Ideally, I'd like to have one single shape (One mould) rather than multiple shapes. But I am open to getting suggestions of multiple shapes if they really stand out. Please check google "Balance stepping stones" to see existing designs in the market. I have attached a few designs as an example.

Hello--I am looking for designs of a SOFT dog toy where the dog needs to interact with a piece of fruit (the toy) that has it's name embroidered onto it and a voice comes on to encourage the dog to do the task. For example, a banana --the peel would potentially be held up to the stem by Velcro as intact and the dog would have to peel it with his/her teeth. Maybe there is a spot for a treat inside. When pressure is placed on the piece of fruit, a voice comes on to say "Peel Me!" "Peel the banana!" The idea is to make it fun for both dogs and owners. Owners to chuckle at the voice prompts. I also want them to have different sizes in XS, S, M, and L.

I'm seeking talented designers to help create a superior version of a portable speedball set, building upon the strengths of the Artengo Turnball and the traditional Swingball design while addressing some key areas for improvement. The goal is to design a sturdy, portable, and versatile speedball set that includes additional gameplay features, making it functional for both casual and competitive play. I'm fairly open as to the design, but here's what I was thinking: Base Design: Octagonal base, 8-10 inches thick, and hollow to allow it to be filled with water for stability. The ball hanging from the tether should not be able to hit the base (or the structural supports) Stability Features: - Include 8 stakes and holes at the corners for secure anchoring in the ground/grass or sand (e.g., yard and beach play). - Design reinforced connections between the base and pole. The pole should be supported by 4 angled joints that attach to the base (effectively making a triangle), further stabilized by a cylindrical plate or structural ring at the connection point. The joints must not interfere with the ball’s movement during play. I also think the pole should be stabilized in the base and "lock" into place (the Swingball set lock feature is really weak. The Artengo lock feature is good, but could be improved from a sturdiness perspective). Portability: All components (pole sections, ball, cord, stakes, etc.) must fit neatly inside the hollow base for easy transport. 2. Pole Design. The pole should consist of 4 interlocking pieces for portability and ease of setup, and include a locking mechanism to securely attach the pole to the base during play. The top of the pole must feature an interchangeable head system: Option 1: A traditional tethered tennis ball design (like the Artengo set). Option 2: A grooved design to accommodate alternative gameplay setups (like the Swingball set). 3. Gameplay Enhancement: Course Markers Add connectable course markers that extend outward from the base to create a defined play area, similar to the concept of speedball. These should help players stay on their side during competitive games. Ensure these markers are lightweight, portable, and easy to attach/detach. Thought about elastic bands or string that could be staked into the ground. 4. Paddle/racket: The Swingball racquet is better due to its thickness and material. I'd like to find a middle ground, because I think the swingball paddle is a bit heavy. 5. General Design Requirements Material: Use durable, lightweight materials suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Aesthetic: Sleek, modern, and sporty to appeal to casual players and families. Safety: Ensure all components are child-safe with no sharp edges or small detachable parts. Usability: The set should be easy to set up, take down, and transport, even for a single person. Deliverables: 3D CAD Files: Include all individual components and an assembled version of the set. Exploded View: Show how the components fit together, with clear labels and dimensions. Renderings: Provide 2–3 high-quality renderings showcasing the set in use (e.g., anchored on sand, set up on a flat surface). Optional (but encouraged): Suggestions for materials and manufacturing methods.
