What is it?


KitChef is a wearable technology designed to create physical closeness and an emotional connection between children and their parents during a shared cooking experience. The technology enables an interactive and playful experience that strengthens the parent-child relationship and enhances the child's sense of independence and security. The Kitchef cooking kit includes two bracelets and a recipe box that accompanies the parent and child in the cooking process.

How does it work? 

Kitchef's box is built from wood and has ESP32, which is connected to an LED strip consisting of 8 NeoPixels. The entire hardware setup relies on a 5000mAh mobile battery. The box is connected via bluetooth to the bracelets; One bracelet contains a magnet (the child's bracelet), while the other contains an xiao ble nrf52840 sense controller (the parent's bracelet). The controller in the parent's bracelet is connected to a small portable battery with an activation switch, and the component is connected to a magnetic sensor that is connected to the magnet.
