General information

Short Summary

A company from Croatia offers Smart Health City Playgrounds - an innovative, creative and educational solution for playgrounds that use renewable and kinetic energy created by playing. Their playgrounds are completely green, digital and sustainable, designed for urban places and for all age groups.

Full Description

The company was established in September 2021 in Croatia, but the idea and know-how come from long-term experience in a similar business. Both businesses are owned by the same owner.

Today’s main activity is the production of a complete playground with 5 items, mutually connected. The plan is to implement its virtual games in real urban city areas with long-distance competition possibility. In games development, the company included kindergarten pedagogues, kinesiologists and persons with experience in therapeutics.

Through play and education, the idea was to create a clean, smart, green, digital and self-sustaining environment in which not only the children will enjoy, but also their parents, tourists, bypassers and ultimately the whole local community. The company combined education, the healthy development of children and digital possibilities, to motivate the young to play in a completely innovative and creative way.

Green energy playgrounds represent a revolutionary healthy component and a significant improvement in children's play. Combining interactive electronics with conventional playground equipment, it is made to stop the enchanted cycle of sedentary behavior resulting in childhood obesity.

The company's strategy is to be present with its playgrounds in major urban areas. Therefore, cities and municipalities are defined as their major partners.

The company plans to sell at the international market and has registered the patent for the playgrounds on the EU level.

Advantages and Innovations

EDUCATION - With an innovative and creative approach, to develop games that use energy from renewable sources whose goal is to educate the youngest generations about the possibilities of using solar and wind energy and what benefits they have on our society in general. The development of their equipment involved educators who focused on encouraging the psychophysical maturing of children through the development of motor skills and cognitive values such as thinking, memory, reasoning and development of perception
HEALTH - to encourage the development of children's motor skills by motivating them to play with sound and light signals obtained from the sun's energy. GREEN ENERGY PLAYGROUNDS “smartly” combines digital entertainment and physical play to keep children moving, thinking and communicating in extraordinary new ways. The range of games uses various technologies such as electronic, multisensory equipment and games for smartphones, all with a common goal: to provide children with outdoor activities!
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY with PLAYING becomes a "natural" tool that motivates children to learn as much as possible about themselves and the world around them, with a concrete contribution aimed at improving social skills and targeted motor skills considering the sensitive stages of child development. Digitization of equipment has enabled them to identify the user (gender, age) and thus the adequacy of the complexity of each game managed by specially designed software, by starting with the first level of the game just right for a particular user, and each subsequent game (level) level which achieves the progressive development of psychomotor skills, and thus the interest and motivation of the use of equipment in continuity. GREEN ENERGY PLAYGROUNDS are becoming an attractive gathering place for citizens of all ages (4-84), with the aim of developing and maintaining psychomotor skills, motivated by outdoor play.
The playground is fully adapted for people with disabilities.
