It’s great that school classes have real experiences through my programming work.
Imagine the emotions triggered by reaching into the old photo box. How nice is it to look at the group photo from the class trip in 1992?
Today, cell phones are ubiquitous among schoolchildren and countless photos and videos are taken on school trips and project days, some of them of astonishing quality. Unfortunately, these usually disappear into the depths of the digital clouds.
We have set ourselves the goal of changing this by working with school classes and teachers to capture these memories in a structured way.
And we go one step further: we not only collect and use what is available, but also create our own valuable experiences and educational program points, which in turn create very special photo and video memories.
How do we do that?
The focus is on the experiential educational tasks of our onTour app: we challenge our participants to solve these tasks in the app and upload the results directly.
In this way, we create educational and activating experiences, sharpen perception, promote team building and invite people to discover places and spaces. Activity, fun and innovation are the values that guide us.
And in the end, the result is always very individual: a memory film professionally created by our team and our technology from many perspectives that connects the participants, makes them proud and lets them reminisce.
We want to become the standard companion for school trips throughout Europe and ensure that our memory film is always watched first at class reunions decades later.
And we want to enable virtual journeys through space and time with interactive video formats as part of project days at schools. At the heart of these journeys out of the classroom is our “Experience and Remember” concept. Because we are convinced that you don’t need an airplane or a big budget from your parents to travel. A thirst for adventure and a change of perspective start in the mind.
