Leap Planner is a helpful, approachable organizational tool that reminds the user of events and activities in their life. Leap Planner features an analog calendar, as used by many elderly people, as well as a stylized frog robot that reminds the user of the current date and makes Leap Planner more approachable.

In a world that becomes more digital every day, it is important for those who are older to have the ability to keep up with events in their lives in a way that they can understand easily. Leap Planner aims to solve this issue by providing a tool that is easy, fun and interesting to use in addition to improving the user’s organization. The robotic element of Leap Planner contains a two-motor movement system. Each motor connects to spools that are attached to the frog via string. The motors are placed on the upper left and right corners of the calendar, enabling life-like movement throughout.
