The Wow Moment
A child bounces on a trampoline and immediately feels a cool breeze trigger around them—the harder they play, the cooler it gets. Then they notice the breeze follows them as they move, while their friends nearby each have their own temperature bubbles, all powered solely by the playground itself.
