Hello World! I'm Daeun.

I dream of a world where all youth can freely cultivate their talents and potential.

My research focuses on various themes within Human-Computer Interaction fields, and I am especially interested in educational technology, specifically digital educational games. I believe technology is a fascinating tool that can engage youth and not only provide plentiful resources, but also a 'fun' learning experience. I want to explore further on role and design of gamification elements within educational games, such as virtual agents, feedback, etc.


Constantly interacting with children and youth through volunteer experiences, mentoring, and user research, I realized that I feel joy and find value in guiding children to understand how fun learning can be. I dream of a world where all children have easy access to learning tools. Specifically the ones provide personalized information in a friendly environment, so that they can grow and cherish their lives to the fullest.
