Wood: a key resource for south tyrol
In this northern Italian region, wood is a vital resource that brings together tradition, the economy and environmental protection. The short and sustainable supply chain is worth €1.3 billion and involves thousands of local companies.
The Samsung Play-Board could be, therefore, one of the first steps in re-launching Italian creative excellence thanks to innovative research into multiple intelligences in the public school system. Specifically, it involves a play table in wood with a number of sets of high-tech modular elements which stimulate the expression of multiple intelligences in children as they play.
The interaction of the children is traced and returned to them using easy-to-read graphics on the tablet. The app connected to it also allows parents and teachers to identify the most effective learning approaches and activities to offer children in order to make the most of their individual aptitudes while reducing their weaknesses.
