Abstract
The environment is suffering tremendous changes. Climate change and global warming are a few of the major problems facing the planet. Various kinds of garbage are ending up in the ocean, which is making Earth's environment deteriorate. After exploring the current needs for recycling in the world, we have decided to design a toy for children ages 5-10 that helps reimagine the scope of environmental education. The combination of haptic feedback in the form of lights, and sounds are utilized to help children differentiate the difference between recyclable and non-recyclable objects. The child will recognize how to properly recycle trash based on the feedback given by the toy.
