Embrace Kit

By Yen-Ling Cheng

EmbraceKit is a construction toy combined with an e-blanket and a small robot made with recycled items. This project seeks to employ construction toy and intergenerational communication as a strategy to support children aged 5-8 who live apart from their grandparents to develop social emotional learning skills to help them identify nuances of different emotions, self-awareness, generate proper responses to others emotions and emphasize with others.
