A hands-on acoustic educational tool using stackable vocal tract blocks was developed to enable learners to experience sound changes by freely combining blocks with different aperture diameters. Educational workshops were conducted for participants ranging from young children to adults, followed by questionnaire-based evaluations. The results suggest that the proposed tool can support play-based experiential learning and stimulate interest in speech production and acoustics.
