The philosophy of our innovative products is inventing ever more ingenious and sustainable products to adapt to changing usages and empower children to change the world.
Co-creation is child’s play. At MAPED, product managers, designers, analysts, and engineers are involved alongside children, parents, and teachers to nurture new ideas. Lots of children come to MAPED every year to help us design, test, and improve our products. And even when they are not with us, we carefully consider their expectations all over the world. For example : new range Picnik, from boxes to bags, children tested and adjusted with us. They even chose the shape and locking system for the new lunch boxes.
Invent with teachers, students, & consumers. Because there is no better school than being in the field, we test all our colouring products in classrooms and we work with school teachers to develop writing products that are as close as possible to their expectations. For example : the compass Kid’z 360°. The Kid’z 360° compass was born after two years of research and development and designed based on a biomechanical study carried out with the Motion Sciences Institute Etienne Jules Marey.
