    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 child takes a photo of a worm and the photo is scanned.

    SoortSafari prototype

    Het Klokhuis sought an engaging way to teach children about nature around them. The concept of SoortSafari emerged from my earlier research at NTR and drew inspiration from Het Klokhuis' Dierenzoeker, which allowed users to identify animals they had discovered. With SoortSafari, the approach is reversed: the app provides users with assignments that send them into nature. The prototype featured a calendar and a quartet-style overview of plant and animal species. To complete assignments, users take photos, and AI technology determines if the correct species has been identified. This allows children to build their own collections and learn about nature in a playful, hands-on way. The prototype was met with great enthusiasm. Children engaged with it for more than 45 minutes and even climbed on top of each other to capture better photos of a pigeon perched in a tree. Based on these observations and insights, we began developing a production-ready version to expand on this promising concept.

    Klokhuis AI Studio prototype

    AI is something that is increasingly common and has more and more influence on our daily lives, but most people still do not fully understand what it is. For my graduation project, I developed this AI Studio where children learn about AI and train their own AI. I wanted to explore how we could give the next generation more control over the subject of artificial intelligence through playful learning. To that end, I investigated an interactive dialogue as a medium, in which the various characters of Het Klokhuis guide you through the theory. With this research, I graduated with two 9.3s and a 9.4. The average grade of my bachelor's courses is an 8.7.

    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.
