Tot Bot Designed by W&W Intern Oriana Foster

As part of our outreach program, Wonder & Wise partnered with Webster Groves High School’s Chelsea Experiential Learning Center in St. Louis, Missouri to offer students internships to gain first-hand knowledge of the workplace.

Oriana Foster, a junior at WGHS, worked with our design team to create our wonderful Tot Bot, while gaining experience with the design process and a new perspective on the industry.

About her internship experience, Oriana said, “The design work I did really put a lot of my art skills into practice. I learned a lot about myself, and my own strengths and weaknesses as an artist. I had a lot of fun working on this, working with other people, and ultimately creating a product I was proud of.”

Oriana spent 8 weeks researching our customer base, learning our company aesthetic and submitting rounds of sketches until a final design was approved. From there, Oriana learned how to produce technical specs for our factory which ultimately resulted in the Tot Bot.

Zhao Fujian, owner of Wonder & Wise, said “Giving back to our communities is important to our company, and helping children grow and develop is an essential part of what we do. The purpose of Wonder & Wise is to spark curiosity, joy and wellness whether that’s through toys or an intership that provides a valuable learning experience.”
