From January 5th until 11th, students from FabLabBCN and people from other countries such as Peru and Colombia were part of a new workshop. How can we take advantage of all the energy we produce in a playground? This involves many things: mechanisms, electronics, design, and kids culture. For example, while playing with the famous 'merry-go-round', why couldn't we turn the rotation movement into energy through dynamos or piezo systems? Maybe the kid's father could charge his movile or laptop while the kid is playing! Cool, isn't it?

The final result was interesting since the research was about looking for all possible movements, different kinds of games, how to storage the energy and a LOT more. To find out all the information from the workshop related to the future of playgrounds click here.
