FORM
An educational software prototype designed to encourage
children's creative play with fundamental geometric shapes.
This open-ended program is a creative tool that helps
form a deep and lasting understanding of the beauty, elegance,
and underlying unity of math, science, design, and nature.
Through play with simple geometric shapes, children are
introduced to: design and aesthetics (color, symmetry,
pattern), geometry (shape, proportion, harmony), and physics
(volume, gravity, movement). The hexagon grid interface
invites players to create static and animated designs
by changing the size, weight, color, position, gravity,
animation, and sound of circles, squares, and triangles.
Audio, animated clips, and graphic icons help pre-readers
navigate through the program independently.
