Once upon a time…
The creation of PractiKid is the result of conscious, years-long development.Previously, we developed an innovative tool specifically to measure the skills of the workforce, and then our colleague with young children requested that we might support her child's transition from kindergarten to school with something similar.
A concept was born from the needs, and soon a prototype was born from that.

Creating PractiKid was partly a professional and partly a personal challenge for me. Professional, because I have been involved in training for more than 25 years and I see that we can help most effectively if we support everyone in acquiring the necessary skills from a young age. It was also a personal challenge, because as a father of two children myself, I have fresh memories of the challenges of the kindergarten-school transition.
Everything starts with the first school years, so I would like to enrich the camp of those who focus on this period with their helpful knowledge. I hope there will be more and more of us!
As the manager responsible for the development of PractiKid, it is my job to ensure that my colleagues have access to all the professional, financial and technological resources necessary to create the perfect end result. I'm thinking of any of our innovation processes, development consists of nothing more than making mistakes until we run out of options and create our solution that best fits the given problem.
It was a special pleasure to create PractiKid, which also had a constant motivational force, that although parents and teachers will be our customers and clients, the end result is that we do everything for the children. Every screwdriving, every software fix serves their lives.In such a case, you can't get by with anything but the perfect.
I not only admire, study and collect, but also build exotic systems. What was my hobby later became my job, and with PractiKid my profession. Creating PractiKid's tool was like a process of invention. Be useful for parents and teachers, but fun for children. I built countless prototypes with my team before its current form was finalized. When I'm not dealing with development, I immerse myself in similarly complex board games with my partner and friends.
I graduated as a psychologist and then got my doctorate in psychology in 2015 at the University of Debrecen, where I also had the opportunity to try myself as an instructor. During the years I spent here and during the basic and master courses, I came close to education as a profession. Thanks to this, I decided to try to draw attention to the importance of skills and abilities as much as possible. Compiling PractiKid's tests was a great opportunity for me to help the youngest generation in a way that was not possible before. Although it is often heard how difficult it is for education to innovate, I am confident that I help this process with my everyday work.
I'm interested in the solution!
