The Journey

An Overview: From Idea To The Product

1. Researching

Based on the recent research literature in the area of early child development, the hypotheses for the Flintoclass curriculum design are derived to ensure the experiential learning principles are tailored for today’s children.

4. Prototyping

Flintoclass is pivoted around experiential learning. Preliminary versions of learning products are developed for each activity in the curriculum.

7. Refinement

A 3-way review from toy designers, pedagogy experts, and child psychologists lead to further refinement in designing the hands-on exploratory learning products for the Flintoclass curriculum.

2. Brainstorming

A wide variety of themes are explored by a team of early educators, pedagogy experts, and child psychologists to identify concepts that are relevant to the child’s immediate environment.

5. Acceptance Testing

Each product goes through several iterations before it gets approved for evoking curiosity, enabling thinking, and fostering child development besides focusing on one or more key learning skills.

8. Implementation

A full-stack curriculum is put into effect where children learn the concepts through play. Early educators are provided with the necessary learning aids to implement the program.

3. Ideating

A highly-creative think tank of toy designers, early curriculum designers, play therapists, and pedagogy experts come up with fresh ideas to stimulate thinking and promote kinesthetic learning among children.

6. Review

Design experts review each product for aesthetics, form, and function from the perspective of early learning. Pedagogy experts and developmental psychologists assess the design for elements of play and the kinesthetic approach to child development.

9. Evaluate

The prototypes are evaluated in stimulating learning environments with children. Based on the observation of children engaging with the learning products, further review suggestions are made.
