The context

We are an independent innovation lab in Berlin. We work at the intersection of art and technology: characters, stories, sound and objects for children, made by artists and engineers together.

We make stories in many languages for children aged two to five. We want to understand how bilingual families really use them at home, so we design for the families we serve, not for an average that doesn’t exist.

Who it’s for

  • Master’s students in education, developmental psychology, linguistics or childhood studies
  • German required; another family language is a plus

What we’d make together

  • A study design with families (with ethics approval)
  • Home visits, diaries and listening sessions
  • Clear, usable findings for writers and designers

What you get

  • A real research partner and real material in several languages
  • Co-supervision alongside your university supervisor
  • Your name on the findings, and the option to publish
