Abstract

This research work presents the development of a portable educational mechatronic device that enhances learning in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from the age of three. The device has been designed to facilitate learning through structured interaction focused on games and activities that improve attention and memory, keeping children motivated and engaged with immediate and positive feedback. It stands out for its attractive mechanical design, made from PLA material, and its control via a Raspberry Pi 3, which offers sufficient efficiency for its purpose. It includes a 7-inch touch screen that improves user interaction, making it more intuitive, as well as speakers that emit white noise to improve children’s attention. A mixed methodology between VDI 2206 and MIT was used to achieve the proposed objectives. The results of this research promise to improve attention and memory with an attractive and practical design, a stable structure, an intuitive mechanism, and electronic components suitable for children with mild ADHD.
