Bricks are books

With the educational loop (read the article "Let's make even smarter bricks"), children will not only learn about recycling and its importance, but they will also receive some kind of educational stuff.

The idea is quite simple: children will put the smart bricks into the wall. But only when they have put them in the right place and have formed the right pattern, they will be able to download interesting educational information (like information about animals, plants...) in their ipad-like device. Once they read it, they will have to choose the information they like the most from the list they have just downloaded. So, the next pattern they will have to reform (after the demolition of the shelter) will be related to the information they had chosen (for example the animal the information refers to).

But, there is a small detail: every time the wall is demolished, the pattern that children will have to form will come from another playground. In this way, we can manage some kind of interaction between the playgrounds and every time the new pattern will be a surprise for the kids.
