But here the key Do not fit inside the lock by pulling or pushing, Rather all the teeth must pass through all the rings to fit into the lock. This can be done by rotating the Key and the rings inside the lock and coordinating between them.(The rings inside the lock are free and rotate easily.) This procedure is also performed when removing the key from the lock, and the same procedure must be followed when removing the key.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: keyt is a fun and exciting activity. Children try to pass the key through the rings by turning the rings and the key, and this is done from passing the first ring to the last ring. These steps are also taken to remove the key. This operation can be done on both sides of the body. This process can be done competitively and within the specified time. Children try to turning the rings and keys and position them so that the key can pass through the rings, and this process can increase the focus in children and help eye-hand coordination.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The goals of this product are to entertain children together and to create a competitive and collective environment. That is, putting the key inside the lock can be timed and competitive and enhances the excitement of the game. A lot of tests and implementations were made to get the best results. An initial replica of the product was made and potential flaws were identified. At first the rings inside the lock were get out, but the rings were restrained by changing the shape of the 4 bars around the lock. The key`s teeth are all the same, but by rotating them on the key body they have been challenged to cross the rings.

Keeping the rings inside the body was an important design challenge because At first the rings inside the lock were get out, But in the end, by creating curvature in the bars and placing 4 bars around, the rings were prevented from coming out.

This award-winning work is truly remarkable! The thought and effort put into the design makes it a truly unique educational toy that not only entertains children, but also encourages focus, eye-hand coordination, and healthy competition. The use of injection molding to produce high-density polyethylene makes it a durable and safe product. A truly creative and innovative design that is sure to be a hit!

I absolutely adore Esmail Ghadrdani's work, Keyt! It is an incredibly creative and innovative way to teach children focus and eye-hand coordination, while also providing a fun and exciting game. The idea of being able to rotate the key and the rings inside the lock to make them fit together is genius. It's amazing to see the amount of research and testing that went into making this work the best it could be. This educational toy is truly a work of art and I am so proud of Esmail Ghadrdani for winning the A' Design Award for this!
