Buddy Box

Buddy Box

Buddy Box was created and designed to help Syrian refugee children at my local school to communicate with other pupils. I created a set of flashcards in English/Arabic which supported both sets of buddies in communicating with each other, learning and have fun making new friends. Buddy Box now utilises speaking AI Avatars which further develop learning in any language.
