Praxis is a multimedia piece incorporating package, booklet, and motion design. A working version of the device is currently in development.

The Praxis device is a tool to help students manage the time that they have and get the most out of their study sessions. Studying straight for long periods of time can be detrimental to your health and learning. It is important to take short, but regular breaks during study sessions. Praxis makes it a no-brainer to do just that. The user simply sets the length of time they wish to study for and the device automatically divides it up into a work/break schedule. At the end of each work period, the device rings to signal it is time to take a break. This gives enough time for the studier to stretch and get away from the study material for a few moments before the device signals that it is time to go back to work.

Praxis is to be funded via Kickstarter. The package is not designed to sit on a self at a store, but rather to securely hold the device while it is shipped. A thank you card is included to acknowledge the support of the backers, as well listing the names of the people who have funded with the most amount of money. The instruction manuel outlines the features of Praxis, includes step-by-step instructions on how to use it, and some study tips. There is also a promotional video to be posted on Kickstarter.
