Game 'Dresscode'
Together with students of Mediacollege Amsterdam I developed a game about learning to code. In this game you can make your own pattern on a dress with coding. I used this idea to present my thesis: 'How can you promote curiosity in the field of technology by girls (ages 8 to 12'), for my master study Crossover Creativity 'Crossover Creativity'.

Fashion & Programming
For a half year I was giving an after school series of workshops every Friday afternoon at 'Basisschool de Bron' in Amsterdam about 'Fashion & Programming' supported by VHTO. The kids we're working with Micro:bits and - for example - t-shirts to create their own wearables. I was looking if this combination made programming more attractive for girls.

Field Expert and Assessor for the HU
The University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (Hogeschool Utrecht) have asked me in 2017 to be a Field Expert and Assessor for the Certification of VMBO teachers in the Netherlands.
