Evolving the cognitive development in children
Years
2023-2024
Role
Lead UX/UI Designer
Scope
UX/UI Design, Interaction Design
Minerva is an interactive cognitive development experience designed for children aged 6–10. Rooted in embodied cognition, it moves beyond passive screen based learning by integrating movement, emotional exploration, and spatial interaction. The goal was to create a system where thinking develops through action allowing children to learn by engaging their body, reflecting on outcomes, and experiencing feedback in real time.
SETUP
Minerva operates within a calibrated immersive installation combining dual projection mapping, Xbox Kinect 2 (Azure) motion tracking, and a Pharus laser tracking system. Two projectors transform the floor and wall into a seamless interactive environment, while the Kinect captures full-body skeletal movement. The Pharus system ensures precise spatial positioning within the space. Together, this layered tracking architecture enables real-time environmental response to a child’s gestures, movement, and posture keeping the technology invisible while the experience remains fully embodied.
SPATIAL & EXECUTIVE TRAINING
Within this responsive environment, children engage in movement driven cognitive challenges. Emotional exploration activities build self recognition and empathy through gesture based interaction. “Floor is Lava” strengthens spatial awareness, balance, and rapid decision making by requiring navigation across projected zones. The ECO System Restoration module introduces cause and effect reasoning and collaborative problem solving, allowing children to see their actions directly transform the environment. Each activity is designed to stimulate executive functions through play rather than instruction.
FEEDBACK & IMPACT
Minerva replaces traditional scoring systems with narrative progression, character growth, and environmental transformation as feedback mechanisms. Children witness immediate consequences of their actions, reinforcing intrinsic motivation and reflective thinking. Early testing indicated improvements in emotional recognition, spatial coordination, and cognitive flexibility demonstrating how embodied interaction can meaningfully support executive function development in young learners.

Minerva is an interactive learning experience designed to support cognitive and emotional development in children aged 6–10. Built around embodied play rather than passive screen time, it combines movement, spatial challenges, and emotional exploration to strengthen executive functions in a natural and engaging way. The system bridges digital interaction with real-world reflection, encouraging children to learn through action, feedback, and shared moments with parents.
EMOTIONAL AWARENESS
The journey begins with personalization, where children choose a character that grows alongside them, creating relatability and ownership. Through guided emotion exploration and expressive activities, Minerva helps children identify, understand, and relate to their feelings. Carefully placed “digital disconnect” moments prompt reflection and real-world conversations with parents, reinforcing emotional learning beyond the screen.
SPATIAL & EXECUTIVE TRAINING
Interactive activities such as “Floor is Lava” translate cognitive exercises into movement-based challenges. Children navigate space, make quick decisions, and adapt to dynamic scenarios, strengthening working memory, spatial reasoning, and cognitive flexibility. Instant feedback through character responses and environmental changes keeps engagement high without relying on competitive scoring.
FEEDBACK & IMPACT
Minerva replaces traditional points and grades with narrative progression and visible character growth, fostering intrinsic motivation. Early testing phases indicated measurable improvements in working memory, emotional recognition, and decision making abilities. More importantly, the system reframes learning as an active, shared experience between child and parent.

Hobnob is a social platform designed to help new remote employees acclimate faster to their working environment. In distributed teams where informal interaction is limited, the goal was to create a space that encourages genuine connection not through tasks, but through shared moments. The focus was simple: make remote onboarding feel less transactional and more human.
BREAKING THE ICE, DIGITALLY
Starting a new job remotely can feel isolating. Hobnob introduces icebreaker games and lightweight activities that reduce awkwardness and lower the barrier to conversation. Instead of formal introductions or structured networking, employees interact through playful, optional experiences that make connection feel natural.
CONNECTING THROUGH ENGAGEMENT
Beyond games, the platform promotes ongoing interaction between colleagues by encouraging casual participation. It supports a positive company culture by creating opportunities for employees to engage outside formal work channels. The system was designed to feel accessible, intuitive, and non-intrusive within a remote work ecosystem.
CULTURE INSIGHTS & ADMIN TOOLS
Beyond employee interaction, Hobnob provides administrators with tools to better understand engagement across teams. Admin access allows companies to view participation patterns, demographic insights, and interaction trends within the platform. These insights help organisations identify how employees connect, which activities resonate most, and where engagement gaps may exist. By combining social interaction with meaningful data, Hobnob supports teams in nurturing a healthier and more connected remote work culture.

Hobnob is a social platform designed to help new remote employees acclimate faster to their working environment. In distributed teams where informal interaction is limited, the goal was to create a space that encourages genuine connection not through tasks, but through shared moments. The focus was simple: make remote onboarding feel less transactional and more human.
BREAKING THE ICE, DIGITALLY
Starting a new job remotely can feel isolating. Hobnob introduces icebreaker games and lightweight activities that reduce awkwardness and lower the barrier to conversation. Instead of formal introductions or structured networking, employees interact through playful, optional experiences that make connection feel natural.
CONNECTING THROUGH ENGAGEMENT
Beyond games, the platform promotes ongoing interaction between colleagues by encouraging casual participation. It supports a positive company culture by creating opportunities for employees to engage outside formal work channels. The system was designed to feel accessible, intuitive, and non-intrusive within a remote work ecosystem.
