Brief Explanation

Samsung Smart Play-Board is a product-innovation idea that elevates the role of technology to a powerful enhancer on people’s life, creating a positive influence on brand perception and brand preference. Smart Playboard is a game-changing technology for the world of education, that leverages on the capabilities of Samsung smartphones to achieve valuable goals. In April 2015 Samsung Smart Play-Board project became an on-going Research Project in collaboration with University of Macerata and an official design project presented during the 2015 Milan Design Week, enhancing the PR value of the project even more.

Creative Execution

Samsung is a leading technology brand that people usually associate to specific products and features rather than core human values. Our objective was to create awareness on Samsung brand-essence: a company that designs its products to amplify people’s life possibilities. Samsung Smart Playboard is an innovative way to combine the capabilities of every Samsung smartphone, with a new hardware and software solution. A dedicated physical device collects data though an app about the children’s natural behaviors, helping teachers support every child's unique potential and turning individual learning-paths into a feasible best-practice in every Italian school.

Results

Samsung Smart Play-Board is a game-changer for the world of education that has immediately triggered a great conversation on traditional and social media. The result was an increased brand-perception and consumer awareness among several target audiences, including young families and young adults. Macerata University has reviewed and endorsed the project, starting a beta-testing phase in Italian pre-schools. The project has been already presented to Howard Gardner – Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard – who judged it an innovative solution to support the creation of better teaching strategies, thanks to the unprecedented chance to collect valuable data through Samsung technology.
