Project Overview
The team intends to build an educational
toy for special needs children to develop their
learning skills.
Our client is the “Special Care Center” in
Abu Dhabi, and will be used by the children in
the center.
Client Statement
“The Special Care Center is seeking proposals
from experienced engineering companies for
the design of an educational toy for use in our
classrooms. The toy should be suitable for
children with varying disabilities and should be
appropriate for use in a class room environment.
The toy must be safe, affordable and reliable.”

• “The team should build an educational toy to
support the learning experience of the special
needs children in the Special Care Center. As the
client has stated the toy will be used by children
with various disabilities in a classroom
environment, therefore it is important that the
toy has to be portable. The client also required
the toy should be easy to use by the teachers and
the children themselves with a minimum
purchase cost. The most important factors that
the toy’s safety and reliability should be
guaranteed.”
