樹藝工坊李永謨工藝師擅長以自然素材創作動物造型公仔，歡樂蛙即是運用種子設計而成，帶給人們自然中的童趣與歡樂。國立虎尾科技大學林正敏教授進一步導入科技，運用具AI功能的語音辨識晶片、超音波感測器、WS2812彩燈及micro:bit，讓歡樂蛙能聽取語音指令，改變彩燈顏色，或傳送指令給唱唱鼠播放故事。國立臺中科技大學王淑娥講師也以蓪草橢心包覆WS2812彩燈，呈現花朵綻放般的互動效果，讓自然工藝與智慧科技完美交融。
Artisan Yung-Mo Lee of the Tree Art Workshop specializes in crafting animal-themed figurines using natural materials. One such creation is the Joyful Frog, designed with seeds to evoke a sense of childlike wonder and joy found in nature.
Professor Cheng-Min Lin of National Formosa University further integrated technology by incorporating AI-enabled voice recognition chips, ultrasonic sensors, WS2812 RGB lights, and micro:bit. These enhancements allow the Joyful Frog to respond to voice commands, change the color of its lights, or send instructions to the Singing Mouse to play a story.
Additionally, Lecturer Shu-Er Wang from National Taichung University of Science and Technology wrapped WS2812 RGB lights with Tetrapanax papyrifer (rice paper plant) petals, creating an interactive effect reminiscent of blooming flowers—seamlessly blending natural craftsmanship with smart technology.
