What specific problem are you trying to solve?

Problem

Children do not know the prototype ingredients and eat too many processed products.

According to a survey by the Children's Welfare Alliance, 35.0% of children do not recognize common fresh vegetables.40.5% of children cannot correctly distinguish the difference between processed foods and raw foods, especially foods such as black wheels, fish plates, and chicken nuggets, which are the most difficult for children to distinguish.

Young people do not understand the process of processing ingredients, which in turn affects the choice of eating out, which is not conducive to good health.

Many people eat processed and marinated meat such as hot dogs and bacon for breakfast. This kind of food was listed as a first-class carcinogen by the International Cancer Research Center (IARC) of the World Health Organization in 2015, but according to statistics, more than one-third (34.6%) of children still eat it more than once a week, and even 11% (11.3%) of children eat it several times a week.

Children stay indoors for a long time to use too many electronic products.

According to the latest survey results of an online questionnaire of 315 parents of elementary school students, up to 77% of the leisure activities that children often do during the winter vacation are indoor sports such as "watching TV at home and sliding mobile phones", which shows that children are prone to accumulate bad habits such as not going out, less sun, and less activity during the long vacation, which leads to growth gaps.

Excessive use of 3C causes problems with sensory integration and concentration in the brain.

Clinically, we have found that the younger the child, the longer the time they use 3C, the more their vision will be stimulated, which will seriously affect the processing power of "auditory language", and it is easy to cause language development delay.
In addition, staying in a small room for a long time prevents children from practicing a lot of body movements, resulting in sensory motor stimulation and inexperience, and even sensory integration disorders, restlessness, and inability to concentrate continuously.Market Size

The latest statistics from the Ministry of Education have found that the number of kindergarten students in the country has grown from 444,457 in 103 to 564,545 in 108, an increase of 27%.

Elevator pitch

What is your solution?

Design Concept

An online interactive game toy set for children to collect and cook virtual ingredients. Kids collect foods integrated with virtual and reality in the market, so as to understand prototype foods, reduce future dependence on processed foods, and improve their chances of going outsides. Then, the kids can use the ipad through a variety of cooking props with touch points to play cooking games and learn food culture. DigiToy create cross-border exchanges, allowing foreign peers to create special dishes.

Game flow

Technology and Electromechanical

The tablet is a capacitive touch screen with ITO on the surface to generate an electric field. As a conductor, people will change the current when using props, thereby triggering induction, and judging the props used by the player by different numbers and positions of touch points.

Potential customer base analysis

How are you and your team well-positioned to deliver this solution?

HOLA is committed to providing children with multi-faceted learning resources, so that the new generation of children will not only have Chinese and mathematics in their lives, but also have an understanding of nature and the world.
In the past, HOLA has been shortlisted for the Red Dot Concept Award, the young ADC, and won the recognition of the American Master Architect Award.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

Through campus classroom observations and interviews, it was discovered that the campus began to pay attention to digital learning.

This elementary school emphasizes digital learning. Through classroom observation, it is found that teachers will let students use tablets to query new knowledge such as news to cultivate their ability to find resources.And there is a small farm on the campus, so that children can experience planting and understanding plants firsthand.

How many people does your solution currently serve, and how many do you plan to serve in the next year? If you haven’t yet launched your solution, tell us how many people you plan to serve in the next year.

We haven’t launched this solution, and we plan to serve 50 children in the next year in the beginning, and continue to expand the number of users.

What barriers currently exist for you to accomplish your goals in the next year?

The biggest challenge at present is to use artificial intelligence for deep learning to allow the system to judge the detected fruits and vegetables.Because it is necessary to consider factors such as the lighting of the environment, it will be technically difficult.

In addition, because the whole work is based on software, the financial demand is also great.
