1. Improving reading skills for practical assignments
Het Rijks, a VMBO-school in Nijmegen, noticed that its practice-oriented students experienced difficulties in properly understanding the textual instructions for their practical assignments. This caused these students to be unable to demonstrate their practical skills during assessment, even though they might have mastered them. The goal of this project is to develop cognitive AI-tools that can effectively contribute to further insight.

2. Montessori materials with sensors
Can smart technologies provide teachers with insights into their students’ learning processes? Together with the Montessori primary school De Kleine Prins, we are developing an app that uses sensors to collect data on how students use the learning materials while doing arithmetic. The app demonstrates the approach and the end result for the student to the teacher in a clear manner, while also pointing towards crucial moments in the learning process.
Together with scientists from the Universiteit van Amsterdam.

3. Babel bear for young, multilingual children
Together with the schools of Stichting Spaarnesant in Haarlem, we are developing an AI-driven tool, the Babel bear, that can support children who have Dutch as a second language. The Babel bear allows young multilingual students who do not have Dutch as their first language to communicate with their fellow students and their teacher. The goal of this voice-controlled tool is that students will soon feel comfortable in the classroom, be involved in classroom activities, and be able to participate in education to the fullest.
Together with researchers from Universiteit van Utrecht and from the iPABO.
