Designing for Play: Drift, Eddy and Twirl

To design for play that is encourages children to explore the outdoors. Children living in urban areas have become habituated to spending their time indoors whether it is school or home and are constantly monitored when they go out for safety. This causes children to learn helplessness and they start becoming cautious. To combat this, I have designed three do-it-yourself planes which will be shared in the form of instructional booklets. Making involves a lot of exploration, trial and error and will require children to make their own iterations.
