The results are obtained from the preliminary research to both the shape and the trigger mechanism. The design form is minimalistic as its means realizing creative activities during every step freely.
The design makes children pay more attention to the sound and movement that coins create. By putting more coins in, children are literally able to hear the sound of the coins swinging back and forth every time they save, which will motivate them to find ways to earn more money.
The design not only allows children to enjoy fun in their everyday lives but also supports their growth through a learning process, as each child develops and adapts to their changing environment. This environment is crafted to guide them toward becoming more astute pre-teens.
The real-time progress bar at the bottom shows the amount of money saved. Each time a target amount is reached, a new scene will appear on the screen, with a new story paragraph. By having a visual representation of their progress, individuals can stay motivated and focused on achieving their goals.
Encourage our children to put in coins every day, enjoy happiness and fun in the process of accumulation, and form good habits of saving.
