Learning Landscape, A Playground for Math, Project H, 2009









Project H Design is “a charitable organization supporting product design initiatives for humanity, habitats, health, and happiness".

"Our concept in development is a “learning landscape” based on a grid of tires..it allows for both a playspace, outdoor classroom, and a flexible system for math games which can be adapted, scaled, and added to over time.

Four initial games have been designed to teach basic addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication: “Match Me,” “Math Musical Chairs,” “Which One Is Missing?,” and “Around The World.”

Installed at the Kutamba school for orphans in Uganda in January 2009, the playground even integrates a bench system for added functionality as outdoor seating or assembly space.

Amazing concept...bravo, bravo, bravo!
