Pioneering Tech | Sustainable Aviation

The brief
What does it take to make aviation more sustainable? How can innovation move faster, and what can be done for the existing fleet of aircraft? In this Pioneering Tech video, Rinze Benedictus and Marios Kotsonis share their perspective on these questions.

Behind the scenes
Our role was to translate a complex topic into a compact mini-documentary that feels accessible without losing substance. Sustainability in aviation is a layered subject, so the challenge was to keep the story focused and understandable while still doing justice to the research behind it.

Why this one stood out
This is the kind of project we enjoy because it asks for a balance between content and storytelling. The subject is technical, but the final video still needs to feel clear, engaging, and worth watching for a broader audience.

The Lightboard: making blended learning more engaging at TU Delft

At TU Delft, blended learning combines the flexibility of online teaching with the impact of face-to-face interaction. One tool making this possible is the Lightboard—a transparent glass board that lets educators write while facing the camera. Unlike traditional slides, it shows both the lecturer’s explanations and their expressions, making learning more engaging and personal. From flipped classrooms to problem-solving videos, the Lightboard helps teachers share not just answers, but the thinking process behind them—turning lessons into stories that connect with students.

Teacher – Classroom Simulator using AI

In collaboration with Hogeschool Fontys, TU Delft, and XR Zone, we developed an AI-driven Teacher Classroom Simulator for didactics courses. The project explores how VR can enhance teacher training by offering immersive classroom experiences with real-time feedback. Virtual students simulate authentic behaviour, helping educators refine their skills. By prioritising practical applications, the platform aims to make innovative, immersive education accessible and adaptable to diverse teaching contexts.
