For our first toy design assignment, we built a magnetic drawing toy.

Each figurine holds a pen facing down, so moving it across the surface will draw strokes along its path. The figurines have a magnet on the underside, so they are controlled from under the table using magnetic handles. This makes them appear to move magically across the sheet. The idea was to create a new, fun interface for drawing but also for telling stories.
This project was a collaboration with Liangjie Xia, EJ Lee, and Emeri Yarnoff.
