I worked at the startup Op naar Nul (previously know as SlimOpgewekt) for 11 months, right after my master Graduation. During this time, I worked on design, development, and user-testing of an energy awareness game for kids. This game connects real-life energy use at home and in schools to a digital world.

Prospera: an energy awareness game

We all know the reasons why we should save energy: it’s better for the environment, it’s better for our energy bills… but in our daily lives it appears to be very difficult to stay conscious of our energy usage. Prospera shows you the direct effects of your energy usage at home through a casual game.
