The first year of IxDA Awards contains a plethora of fresh, evolutionary ideas on everything from disruptive technology to new ways to connect with people. Voting is currently open for the People's Choice Awards and on that list are several ideas focusing on a topic near and dear to my heart ... using technology and design to find new ways to help kids learn and fun without necessarily sitting in front of a screen. Check out two fantastic entries:
Sound Noodle - A different way for kids to experience music through movement.
Tiblo - An open-ended interactive learning aid for kids with dyslexia.
For a full list of projects, visit IxDa's Vote page.

Progress Chic: Tamaga, future friendly children's furniture
Toxic chemicals in children's toys and furniture have become a big issues lately. The designers at Latvian-based Merci Design have come up with one solution that is both sustainable and a sure bet to spark any child's imagination. Their first product line, Tamago, has some of the coolest kids furniture around. Imagine building a fort out of these giant blocks! Made from the recycled egg cartons, the pieces can last for years if kept away from water. But...when you're done, they can be added to your compost.
