Educational Software
Within STEAMDIVE project, 2 educational software were developed
Mirror of Diversity (MOD)
Mirror of Diversity (MOD) is an interactive digital installation that invites users to confront issues of identity, gender, and race through a live augmented experience.
Sitting in front of the screen, participants see themselves reflected in real time — but transformed. Using their device’s camera and face-altering technology, MOD alters their facial features to simulate a different gender or racial identity. No photo is uploaded; instead, the interaction unfolds as a live “mirror” that challenges perception and promotes empathy, self-awareness, and critical thinking about bias and discrimination.
Developed within the STEAMDIVE – Diversity in STEAM project, MOD serves as a powerful educational tool. It creates a safe, thought-provoking space where students and educators can explore how societal perceptions are shaped by appearance — and how deeply these perceptions can influence inclusion, opportunity, and human connection.
Maths to Cubism
Maths to Cubism is an interactive digital application that invites users to create Cubist-inspired artworks through mathematical logic and geometric design.
Rather than starting from an image, participants begin by selecting coordinates and constructing geometric shapes on a grid. These shapes — lines, polygons, curves — are then combined to form abstract compositions. The final step involves selecting an artist from a curated list of renowned Cubist painters (e.g., Picasso, Braque, Gris), and the application transforms the user’s geometric creation into a Cubist-style digital painting, echoing the selected artist’s visual language.
Developed as part of the STEAMDIVE – Diversity in STEAM project, the tool fosters mathematical reasoning, visual creativity, and art history awareness, all within an inclusive and learner-centered framework. It demonstrates how mathematical concepts such as coordinates, transformations, symmetry, and spatial relationships can lead to artistic expression — bridging the gap between STEM and the arts in a hands-on, engaging way.
