Additional Description: description: Masal is an interactive soft toy constructed with e-textiles in order to answer a specific need: introducing a foreign culture to children through storytelling. The game is played on a paper-board that allows children to write down new foreign words learned within the story. The toy is embedded with an open-source technology (Microbit, 2019) which is used both as sensor and actuator connected with touch sensors with conductive yarns. Using an open-source technology makes the toy accessible for everyone and allows others to personalise the usage by simply changing the code and the variables. Therefore, it can be played in different countries and in different languages. The prototype was developed within Co-story research project.
