For this master project, we have worked in the field of learning and education, with a focus on pupils in the age of 6-10, and their natural need for touching and movement by their school furniture. We have investigated how haptic stimulation tools for pupils can be a complement to visual and auditory education, in order to improve their concentration and to create a calmer learning environment.
