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

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.
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.
Klokhuis AI Studio
For Het Klokhuis, I researched and developed the AI Studio: an accessible website where children safely learn about artificial intelligence through play. In 2021, I developed a prototype featuring one interactive story and an interactive AI Machine. In this AI Studio, there are now 4 interactive stories and even more interactive AI available. All AI runs on your own device or anonymously at Het Klokhuis. Het Klokhuis has also decided to produce 4 episodes on this topic. The entire Het Klokhuis project on AI has won the Cinekid Award for 'Craftsmanship in a Series Production'.

Did you know that you have trillions of invisible pets in your house? But who are they? Can they stay? For NPO Innovatie, I conducted research into using WebAR to give stories for the youth more impact. With the Klokhuis Scanner, you can meet 10 of your invisible pets.
Saibo's Lab 2
Saibo is the super helpful virtual teacher who helps you with the rules for lab safety.

NPO Kennis Accessibility
At NTR, I helped to improve the accessibility of components on the NPO Kennis website. I analyzed bottlenecks and implemented solutions that helped make the website accessible to people with disabilities, such as visual impairments.
