Description:
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.
Wants:
Size; Body about 8-10 CM, 3-4 inches long. Motor struts can project out from this shape.
Shape; Based on our logo shape, attached as a JPG. Two basic plates (upper and lower plates) can be 3D printed or cut from carbon fiber sheets.
Battery; A single A (7 hao) or AA (5 hao) rechargeable, or other commonly available battery.
Drone; 4 rotors, attachable prop guard, stable flight characteristics (so will need sensors and feedback system to dampen instability).
Basic flight commands and control characteristics;
1 - Take off slowly to 1 meter high by simple radio control button.
2 - Land slowly straight down by simple radio control button.
3 - Forward and back by simple radio control.
4 - Turn left and turn right by simple radio control.
5 - Up and down by simple radio control.
6 - Alternatively, can be controlled by mobile phone.
7 - Up to 4 racers can race at a time controlled by different locked radio channels. Better to have a physical hardware switch to lock drones so they can’t be interfered with in flight.
8 - Does not have to be the fastest drone, ease of handling is preferred. This may be the first learning or training drone many kids touch.
9 - We will launch an additional contest to put a 720p camera with recording for FPV flying on this later. This design is a basic line of sight training racer.
Don't Wants:
Cutesy little talking toy.
This is a fun but serious learning platform, not a novelty product.
We want kids to learn about software, radio control, electric motors and drive control systems plus aeronautics and flying skills for electric drones. We will also teach them good sportsmanship as we compete with the final products.
Ask for Sample:
If you can produce a working sample, we will pay for it at a reasonable cost.
Software:
  1. Simple open source is fine.

Simple Miniature Racing Car for STEAM Learning

ToothSafe: A Magical Tooth Holder for Children
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.
Balance Stepping Toy for Kids
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.
Fruit Dog Toy Design
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.
Wooden Stacking Rocks for toddlers and kids
Hi, I am looking to create a set that contains innovative stacking rock shapes. I am looking for about 3 to 6 different shapes. Each set will include all the shapes in different quantities(for example, 4pcs of shape 1, 6 pcs of shapes 2...). Here are the specs for the shapes: - Must respect the following: smallest side is bigger than 31.7mm. If the smallest side is smaller than 31.7mm, one of the other 2 sides must be higher than 57.1mm (see for more details https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Small-Parts-for-Toys-and-Childrens-Products) - Current designs in the market stack only according to z-axis. I would like the shapes to have the ability to stack mainly according to z-axis, but be able to slightly according to x and y-axis(Think about Eiffel tower for example). This allows to enhance creativity and build stuff. - IMPORTANT: Stability: Ability to stack several shapes against each other. For example, ability to stack a combination of a combination of 20 pcs from different shapes according to Z axis. - No weird shapes or lego like - Think about production cost: The smaller the piece would, the less material it will use. Feel free to design a big shape if it is really important.
