Not a Timeless Piece

Abstract
Is there a way to visualise time in an efficient way? This project explores
how children perceive and visualise time, with the goal to create an educa-
tional calendar that will give children in the ages of 7 to 10 a tool to visu-
alise how to count with time and how a calendar year ”looks”. To achieve
this, a mix of education and play is used to trick the children into learning
how time counting works. The element of play is introduced to the user
by a marble path that they get to build, leading a marble into a slot. Each
marble represents a day and each slot represents a month. This makes the
users associate the fun of the play with the learning of how a year is built
up by days, weeks, months and seasons.
