The ‘Urban Survival Pack’ by Ryan Romanes with its tactility and playful shape invites the users to engage with the device while learning through play. The 20cm square kit is constructed of acrylic and OSB. While the OSB exterior provides protection, the acrylic is designed to be water proof.

The six smaller tubes containing vegetable seeds are designed with the intention of being re-used as miniature pot plants. The Urban Survival pack aims to implement new behavioural habits from a young age. The gardening pack not only teaches children about where their food comes from, it also gives them a sense of ownership, responsibility and most importantly entrepreneurship.
