It would have an all digital stationary like sticky notes, alarm, reminder, highlighters etc within to make sure once yo...

Ideation   Children social distancing gadgets?  A gadget that helps/reminds kids to stay apart. Back 2 School kinda thing!  Would be installed in several areas especially the playgroup.  Disclaimer!!! I would be designing a social distancing furniture since I just spoke to my brother whom I would be interviewing soon so stay tuned. With the help of the "Design Thinking methodology". Update!!!!  Night Night! ✌✌ So when searching for person to interview I decided to drop what would be helpful to y'all (family and friends) my whole family and most of my friends said social distancing furniture would be a great idea. They gave me stories and reasons to why I need to consider it and they would love to be interviewed by me.
