The Outdoorsy Approach

A smart, automatic score board. A decimeter. A photo finish trigger. A plant watering system. A DIY laser tag kit. Gadgets for your bicycle.

What if we focused on projects that enhance outdoor games and activities?

Children with attention problems benefit hugely from the following two:


- Focusing on a demanding as much as rewarding activity such as creating something interesting or solving problems.

- Expending physical energy. Preferably in a way that develops their kinesthesia and proprioception.



Kids would reinvent the physical education processes instead of working on 'from your table/floor to your table/floor' creations.

The testing model would be something as simple as a motion trigger to output score, desired action (e.g take a picture) or sound (e.g applause)
