University of Florida Innovation Academy Summer 2019 Catalyst Event

Our team was tasked with creating an innovation rendered for Early Childhood Education as a toy for children on the autism spectrum. We created ShapeScapes, an innovative toy that consists of different colored and shaped blocks, each covered in a different texture, that can be matched on a board forming pictures. ShapeScapes assists children during early childhood development who show autistic tendencies. ShapeScapes helps children to become comfortable with textures and sensory feelings through a reward system. The shapes ultimately contribute to creating different landscapes, or pictures.
