Project Little Bridge
An emotion-learning device for children with autism.
Press Start on the side, then match the emoji
Practice without pressure.
Clear faces, physical buttons, and simple feedback let each child learn at their own pace.
Simple emoji faces help children practice identifying four basic emotions.
Physical buttons give children a clear and predictable way to respond.
Immediate feedback and saved results can show adults where more support may help.
Begin the activity
A new emoji face appears when the child or supporting adult presses Start.
Project Little Bridge began with a simple idea: emotional learning should feel approachable, physical, and encouraging. We are building a tool children can use at their own pace.
The goal is not to replace human connection—it is to make that connection easier to begin.
Tactile input, instant feedback, and private offline progress tracking work together in one focused device.
The OLED displays one simple face showing an emotion.
Four physical buttons make answers direct and predictable.
The white button prepares progress for future local use.
Prototype architecture
Privacy-minded by design
Core gameplay works offline. Progress stays local until it is intentionally transferred.
The interactive model mirrors the working prototype our student team built and refined by hand.
From our first sketch to sharing Emotion Sync with communities in Bangkok.
