Zoop Mobile Toy Coop

description

A collaboration with Rachel Simpson and Rowan Liivamagi

Zoop Toy Cooperative is a project that addresses the issue of toy consumption. The project mandate called for a service design that would help minimize the toys thrown away and bought new from the store. Through co-creation with four 5 and 6 year olds from False Creek Elementary, an interface for trading and sharing toys was conceived. Zoop is a mobile cooperative that functions like a library in that the kids could trade a toys every week. Through this activity, community would be fostered, and kids would be taught of new ways of thinking about ownership.
