Inspiration

Around 1 in 6 children aged 3–17 years are diagnosed with neurodivergence, representing a significant portion of the child population that requires specialized educational tools. Additionally, children today are moving away from physical products like pens, toys, and books. We saw an opportunity to merge these traditional tools with modern technology to create an engaging learning experience.

This led to the birth of our project: a solution that integrates technology, education, and play to help children with neurodivergence develop both their motor skills and cognitive abilities.

What We Do

Our product consists of a game activator pen equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which will allow children to interact with educational games. These games not only enhance learning but also help improve fine motor skills.

The first game we created is ABCAT, an interactive alphabet game that uses computer vision to track the child's handwriting. As the child writes the letters, they work on improving their motor skills while learning the alphabet. The game was designed to be fun and engaging.

Additionally, we have a mobile app so parents can monitor their children's progress, tracking development in motor skills and cognitive areas.

How We Built It

The mobile app was developed using Flutter and Dart, ensuring robust performance and a smooth user experience.

For the creation of the ABCAT game, we used computer vision with specialized libraries to detect and analyze the child's handwriting, providing precise interaction with the game. MediaPipe was used to track hand and finger movements while writing, helping to refine the accuracy of letter recognition.

Challenges We Ran Into

The biggest challenge we faced was implementing computer vision effectively and accurately. Using OpenCV and MediaPipe to track handwriting and hand movement was a challenging process, especially considering the need for fast and error-free recognition. Constant adjustments were needed to handle different writing styles and ensure smooth and precise interaction.

Another challenge was calibrating the computer vision system, as we needed to ensure that letter recognition worked correctly in different contexts and with various writing styles, which required continuous refinement and testing.

We have not yet implemented the NFC integration (communication between the pen and the game), but this functionality is planned for the future, which will further enhance the interaction and customization of the game.

Accomplishments That We’re Proud Of

We are very proud to have created a solution that combines technological innovation with a real impact on the learning of children with neurodivergence. The game ABCAT is already helping many children improve their motor skills and learn the alphabet in a fun and interactive way. Additionally, the integration with the mobile app has been a success, allowing parents to track their children’s progress.

What We Learned

Throughout development, we learned a great deal about the importance of combining technology with inclusive education. We discovered that technology has the power to create meaningful solutions for children with neurodivergence, while providing a fun and interactive experience. We also learned about the challenges of integrating different technologies, such as computer vision, and how to creatively solve complex problems.

What’s Next for Us

The next step for our project is to expand our portfolio of educational games. Our roadmap includes the development of:

Math Tools: Games to help children develop mathematical skills.
Science Toys: Interactive tools for science learning.
Speech Games: Tools to assist in speech development.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive learning platform that helps children with neurodivergence develop holistically, with the support of technology and play.

Join us as we revolutionize the way children with neurodivergence learn and play!
