Hoe bescherm jij jezelf online tegen cyberboeven en cookiemonsters?

The brief
For this project, we created an educational video about online safety for pupils in group 7 and 8. In the video, Rolf van Wegberg and Simone van der Boon explain what internet cookies are and how cybercriminals can misuse them.

Behind the scenes
The video was part of the broader teaching pack Cyberboeven en Cookiemonsters. Alongside the film, we also developed a quiz and a handout so teachers could easily continue the conversation in the classroom. The creative challenge was to make a complex topic understandable and engaging for a younger audience, without oversimplifying it.

Why this one stood out
What made this project fun was the tone. Inspired by Het Klokhuis, we approached the subject in a playful, accessible way while still keeping the educational value intact. It is a good example of how video can make a difficult subject feel approachable.

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.

Reimagining Pop-Up Books Through Mixed Reality: A Collaborative Preservation Initiative

Pop-up and movable books captivate with their interactive artistry, yet their fragility limits access—especially in archival collections like the KB. Through an innovative collaboration between KB and TU Delft’s XR Zone, researcher Willemijn Elkhuizen explores how mixed reality (XR) can preserve and transform these delicate treasures. By translating the sensory and emotional qualities of pop-up books into digital and hybrid experiences, the project opens new avenues for engaging and safeguarding cultural heritage.
