Education and science
Here are some of the projects we are proud of and currently working on. We develop custom digital products for everyone, from start-ups to government agencies.
BlinkLab
Together with Henk-Jan Boele and other researchers at the prestigious Princeton and Erasmus MC, we explored the limits of the smartphone through the development of BlinkLab.
World Museum
After the Sabi Suriname app for the Wereldmuseum, Zooma was brought in to collaborate on the Tag The Picture project. Zooma built an advanced website with a module in which volunteers can very precisely mark and tag objects on photos. A challenging project for both our front- and backend developers with a fantastic result!
Naturalis
Together with Naturalis, we built a knowledge platform for the taxonomy of pollinators. Through the Pollinator Academy, interested parties can follow modules on the taxonomy of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Hospital Hero
The Hospital Hero concept is a beautiful initiative of Veronique van Noort and Nicole Donkel, two nurses at the pediatric ward of the Willem Alexander Children's Hospital (LUMC). Zooma has been working (proudly!) on this concept since 2020, which also includes experts from Nell, TU Delft and Naturalis. And the best part: more and more hospitals are joining in.
Opnij
Zooma was commissioned by Education Center Opnij to develop the digital version of the EF Plan Agenda. We built a web environment for students and mentors, and added native Android and iOS apps. With links to Magister and Somtoday, all learning tasks for students are imported directly into their plan agenda.
SURF
Commissioned by SURF, the ICT cooperative of education and research, Zooma is developing 'SURFsharekit'; a tool that enables educational institutions to manage and share knowledge materials (e.g. research publications and thesis products).
Leiden University
Zooma designed and developed the website and apps for Leids Universitair Weekblad Mare. The goal of the website is to showcase the articles, photos and drawings in the best possible way. The app was developed to serve regular readers even better. With the app you always have the latest Mare newspaper in your pocket!
LOI
Zooma recently revamped its language course app for LOI, the 'Leidse Onderwijsinstellingen'. The free app was developed to support the beginner courses in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian. With this app, you can learn anytime, anywhere!
Leiden University
How did people speak thousands of years ago? And what did these languages sound like? The Vanished Voices app for Android and iOS answers these questions. This app from Leiden University takes you back in the history of language to 4500 BC.
Veggipedia
Veggipedia is the independent source on potatoes, vegetables, fruits, herbs and mushrooms. From information on cultivation to nutritional values, supplemented with practical facts. In collaboration with National Action Plan for Fruit and Vegetables, Zooma worked on a beautiful clear new website.
What we are working on now
We are working on an app as a tool in neurological disorders.
We apply gamification in an app to reduce tension, anxiety and stress during a hospital visit for children.
