Cookid
'Cookid' started as a graduation project at the Delft University of Technology, with the main objective to introduce a new activity in the context of daily parenthood that contributes to the happiness of parents and their infants both now and on the long run. The project is a collaboration between the master Design for Interaction, the design company Spuni (located in New York) and the Delft Institute of Postive Design (DIOPD).
Cookid stimulates parents to involve their infants in the process of cooking. The different product elements are designed to fit together in multiple ways, in order to stimulate explorative use and play with pieces of vegetables and product parts. The child's natural movements are utilized in a beneficial way by the various parts, which facilitate easy cooking actions like cutting, mashing and cracking. This way, young infants can proudly contribute to the dinner preparation.
Cookid introduces a new (and daily) activity for parent and child by engaging infants (1,5 up to 3 years old) into the kitchen in an explorative and playful way. The child's safe involvement gives the parent enough space to prepare a healthy meal while enjoying the child's presence in the kitchen. This way, Cookid initiates a daily moment to connect for both, instead of rushing through dinnertime. Integrating Cookid in the cooking process and on the dinner table helps the child to understand the transition from cooking towards eating dinner, while given the opportunity to positively relate to healthy food at an early age.
A positive design approach was followed throughout the process. If you are interested to learn more about this unique approach, please visit the website of DIOPD (www.diopd.org). The further development of Cookid is managed by Spuni.
The project resulted in an overview of positive design opportunities in the context of early parenthood, the detailed concept of Cookid including four different prototypes and a final thesis, which will soon be available for download on this page.
