A low-cost, flexible, and reusable tactile device that helps children form and feel letters physically. It enables early English learners to engage with alphabets in a hands-on, interactive way—ideal for children struggling in traditional classroom setups. 

Constraints: Must be affordable for widespread access Needs to be fun and interactive Should allow multiple letters to be formed using the same device Idea & Brainstorming Journey: Initial prototyping with cut paper tubes to simulate flexible letters Tried metal-wire + fur string combinations to retain shape with flexibility 3D printing prototypes turned out rigid, unsuitable Final solution combined: Bamboo structures with spaced cuts for flexibility Metal + fur core to retain shape and allow smooth manipulation
