The Cogni-Actif serious game, a turnkey educational technology, is specifically designed to simplify the integration of physical activity into the school environment. The product of an iterative R&D process, Cogni-Actif is the result of a collaboration between researchers and school practitioners based on the Design Thinking model. The active involvement of teachers, students and pedagogical advisors throughout the design process ensures the solution’s relevance to the school environment and its consistency with the needs of users, both students and teachers.

Presentation objective
To find R&D collaborators for the Cogni-Actif project. Here are a few examples:

• Developing a scalable database (back-end)
• Developing a no-SQL database to harmonize, format, index, transfer and perpetuate research data
• Designing hardware or technology to facilitate interaction with the game
• Integrate AI and algorithms to enhance the user experience
