Generation Alpha are children born from 2010 to 2025. They are the first generation entirely born within the 21st century. They are the children of the Millennials. Children in alpha generation have increasingly turned to digital devices for learning, interaction and play. They are digital savvy, entrepreneur, extremely comfortable with AI. Their skills are much more specialized. They are come to know customized experiences from every sector. However, they interact less with humans and communicate less with the physical environment. gaining feedbacks from participatory

‘‘being a child in alpha genaration’’
Alpha generation has implicit needs such as lacking social and physical interaction, in which they have these needs but they connect recognize because of their expectations and tendencies.

mid-structure
The set of simple shapes are designed to encourage creative play amongst children. It was nice to see children play with this game, and how different children assign different functions to even the same objects.
2020
I designed this system that allows the user to assemble those shapes and build up forms. Users can assign functions and meanings to their creations. Users define commands to systems instead of digital gestures, which provides connection physical and digital. Users can create tangible interfaces by themselves as a joystick, controller, key and whatever they need.
11
Children tend to relate digital interface but they have implicit needs they do not know. Mid-structure should catch children’s attention and create a bridge between the physical and digital world. It can be smart, includes software, sensors, and circuits.

geons Geons are the simple 2D or 3D forms such as cylinders, bricks, wedges, cones, circles, and rectangles corresponding to the simple parts of an object in Biederman’s recognition-by-components theory. The theory proposes that the visual input is matched against structural representations of objects in the brain. These structural representations consist of geons and their relations.
Imaginary Language is a set of basic geometric objects that can be combined to create a variety of new forms to encourage creativity. Users can then assign functions and meaning to their creations and play with them. Imaginary Language gives actors and children tools to help them think more creatively.

why I chose the basic shapes?
The system is designed which is a set of simple shapes that allows the user to assemble those shapes and build up forms.

digital gestures
Physical models are assembled for defining digital gestures.
Names of digital interaction are a reminder for envisioning. names

The system has an interface that allows you to identify and map digital movements to physical movements.
Digital gestures that are chosen will be linked by using physical interactions.

There is the product-user scenario that is occurred by two main steps as physical and digital creation.
Modules can be attached easily via their thread connection detail. The user creates a physical model before using it in digital.

The user can play simultaneously with the physical part. The app helps to ease creation thanks to tutorials.
Physical modules are integrated into the chosen interaction. The user can manage chose interaction by using the physical DIY module.

Penguinlight has a solar system. It is designed as suitable for outdoor. Lighting design is privatized for location because it has a lot of solar surfaces to obtain energy from the sun and is converted for efficiency. For gaining the most efficient energy, surfaces can be changed as suitable for sunlight angle (countries’ coordinate). Consequently, its form is changeably affected by locations. Fig1. was designed for China /Pekin. Also, the product was taking the name from an animal that faces extinction danger.
