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.

Blended Learning Animations – Who Is the Engineer of the Future?

How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.

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.
