Orbit

  • Tristan Dummer

In collaboration with Perry Rowe. Due to the war and conflict in South Sudan, more than 800 educational infrastructures have been demolished since 2013. With the lack of classrooms in South Sudan and other rural parts of Africa, many schools operate outside and resort to 'under the tree learning.' Orbit is an educational pack that provides a framework to teach the foundations of maths by using the structure of a tree itself. The kit comprises of ropes and lesson plans to educate through active play. Games like hopscotch, jump the rope and learning mathematical angles all using the ropes are adapted to learning the fundamentals of mathematics. The concept will be developed further at a later stage.
