guided by the insights about students' motivation problems and the rising necessity of learning languages, we set out to design an app that fosters intrinsic motivation based on the self determination theory and meaningful gamification. Over four iterative cycles of research, prototyping, testing and expert feedback, we created “cosmo”, a tablet application where 9th-grade students explore english in a playful, indirect context-based way.

with this project, we feel honoured to have won the international ux design awards 2024 - new talent.
