The Chosen Concept:
Among different product ideas/ concepts generated (like ‐ Motor Car Assembly, Unusual Vehicle Assembly, The Mandap, Shoe‐Box Puppet Theatre, Aero‐Launcher, Tent Kit, and Wire Shaper); the tent kit was selected as the final concept and further improvements were done on the areas where it was lacking. Test prototype was made and tested with the kids to get their feedback. The feedback was analyzed and incorporated in the final prototype.

The Prototype:
The prototype Maadu has been developed considering a manufacturing setup specializing in woodwork. The size of the baseboard has been obtained considering the economical cutting patterns that can be obtained from 4' x 8' boards.

The final proto‐type consists of two Baseboards, which double up as packaging after use. The baseboards encase a tray, which contains the rest of the components. Four teakwood knobs inserted with M6 bolts and nuts hold the entire assembly. Transparent components in the form of connectors/ties are introduced in the prototype replacing the opaque ones of the test prototype.

The final product is a combination of
• Components (Square post, Circular post, Pegs, Connectors)
• Tools (Circular template, Base‐board)
• Consumables (Thread, Wire, Sticks)
