    NPO Innovatie EstafetteSep 12, 2024EO, Hilversum

    At this live Innovatie Estafette I talked about a past, current and future project for Het Klokhuis. First I talked about the AI Studio: an interactive website where children can learn about AI through play and in a safe environment. Then I talked about SoortSafari: an interactive game where children can learn about nature in their own environment. The last project is a project that will be revealed in the future, but it will be about journalism & different perspectives

  2. Dutch Media Week logo: the name spelled out in capital letters. The word "media" is emphasized by an orange color and bold font.

  1. A video available with audio description and also sign language

    Inclusive Sinterklaasjournaal

    A Sinterklaasjournaal for every child: that's why the entire website was redeveloped in 2024. Both UX and technology, as well as new editorial content, have been made accessible. The new website now meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level AA. For color contrast, we've proactively applied the APCA method. Not only have guidelines been implemented, but the site was also pre-tested in various schools with children who have different disabilities. This year also marks the first time that videos with audio description can be accessed directly on the site, without an extra app. Because there's still a lot of content from previous years, an accessibility menu supplements the WCAG implementation. Here, you can filter content based on accessibility and find additional settings, like enabling a dyslexia-friendly font.

  2. A coloring page of Ozosnel looking through a window. The mane is colored yellow, the window blue, and the reins red.

    Drawing for blind children

    For Sinterklaasjournaal, I explored how we could enable everyone to color: including children who cannot see. The goal was to make as much of the Sinterklaasjournaal website accessible to all children as possible. My solution was to divide coloring pages into parts. With a screen reader, you can navigate step by step through each part of the coloring page. When you click, that part is filled with your chosen color. We validated this concept through UX research in collaboration with Tessa Kruiger and the Visio school in Amsterdam. It was received positively: "I want to make this Ozosnel's favorite color!" As a result, many coloring pages have now been made accessible in this way.

But wait, there's more!
