Children of all age groups like to play but specifically, children of age groups 6-12 years tend to engage in outdoor activities and use playground equipments such as swings, slides, see-saw, and Monkey bars. The assigned task as part of the Product Design 2 module conducted by Prof. Vijay Bapat was to design a ride-on playground equipment for them that aids in their physical and psychological growth by taking inspiration from Biomimetics and Biomimicry.

The aim of the project is to design playground equipment for children of age group 6-12 years of age for a middle to upper-class settlement. It would be multiplayer equipment with elements of surprise and humor but can also be used by a single user. It must be a ride-on equipment whose movement or/and form emulates an animal or Insect and is in full control of the user. The mechanism involved should be simple for the ease of manufacturing, maintenance and reduction of cost. The usage should be moderately difficult for the cognitive and physical development of the child. There should be an immediate feedback mechanism that aids in instilling confidence in parents as well as the child.
