Collaborative Learning
Hohenloher Medienbuddy

Classroom with mobile medienBuddy learning stations by Hohenloher in front of a whiteboard

The natural sciences thrive on experimentation. Together with education provider Hohenloher, we break free from rigid spatial structures in STEM education and bring electricity and gas directly to the laboratory table.

In close collaboration with relevant user groups, we develop the medienBuddy as a laboratory partner for schools and a product innovation for the education market.

Our approach

Our Strategy

In interviews with educational institutions, teachers, and learners, we gather needs and requirements, desires, and ideas for a more flexible school infrastructure. Particularly, ergonomics play a crucial role in a product designed for both children and adults. We tailor the correct function and position of controls and connections to the target audiences, test them, and iterate the process until the technical package is well-suited and results in an appealing product.
