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.

The Lightboard: making blended learning more engaging at TU Delft

September 26, 2025

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.

Supermarket Robot: Designing Socially Embedded Service Robots in Virtual Reality

June 30, 2025

What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.
