The Metropolitan Club: Urban Design Challenge was an event at the TU Delft, with students, teachers, and designers from practice. Invited participants were challenged to sketch an integrated urban design in 90 minutes instead of 90 days, by means on exploring with a variety of urban design methods. The NMC produced a summary video of this event.

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.
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.
The availability of the physical University Labs may be limited due to its capacity or other factors, like the mandatory requirement to work from home
