Educational Toy Design Project

This project focused on the end-to-end design of a children’s toy, integrating creativity with structured engineering methodology. Beginning with market research and user-centered design principles, I analyzed existing products, age-appropriate safety constraints, and educational value to define a clear design objective.

From there, I developed multiple concepts and transitioned the final design into detailed CAD models. The mechanical integrity of the toy was evaluated using basic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess stress distribution and durability under realistic use conditions. The result is a thoughtfully engineered toy concept grounded in both technical analysis and real-world usability.

This project emphasized the full design pipeline: identifying a target user, translating qualitative needs into quantitative requirements, iterating through CAD-based solutions, and validating performance through simulation. By combining market research with engineering analysis, the project bridges design thinking and mechanical reasoning.
