Show Children the Meaning of Green Energy



Sustainable energy is a concept that adults today must adapt to in order for our planet to move towards a cleaner and brighter future. To some who have passionate interest in the environment, it seems as though using renewable energy over fossil fuels is just common sense.  How can we share this attitude for generations to come?

Meet Quad, the green toy from Endrit Hajno. This little interactive humanoid requires solar and wind power in order to charge its batteries. He is able to stick to most surfaces with its suction cup hands and feet in order to demonstrate how the efficiency of solar or wind is dependent on location of wind currents or sunlight. While Quad sits next to the window taking in some rays or hangs around catching the wind, he is connecting to the internet via Bluetooth uploading his energy intake to a fun online game where you can compete with others. This allows children to have fun and interact with others while learning about green technology!

I think this toy would make a great gift to kids (especially those who aspire to be scientists or engineers) because it always promotes curiosity of how it works, why it works better here than there, and allows them to innovate when they see that another Quad across the country is getting better or worse results. In other words, Quad helps children learn even if they don’t know their learning. Quad encourages children to ask questions and even do their own research as well. Overall this toy is a great idea and I even consider buying one myself.
