DIY Electronics Kits

The DIY electronics kit was a concept developed while working for Sakar International Inc. bringing STEM to children’s consumer electronics products.

Looking at some competitor examples we tried to address some of the issues and functionality of the circuit-building kits.

In playing with the circuits we wanted to see how we could apply a circuit-building kit to a pair of headphones. Below are some examples of how you change your day fit by plugging a new board into the design.

In looking at the mockups of the headphone design, we decided to steer away from anything that would potentially fall outside of ADA compliance.

Using a Raspberry Pi, we created a work-like mockup to explore options for a camera, speaker, or walkie-talkie product kit.

Layouts for the camera, speaker, and walkie-talkie kit help communicate the different components of each product package.

The clip design at each end of the circuit board allowed us to place these kits securely on an enclosure enabling more physicality in playing with the products.
