updates on projects.
Engine 3 turns learning into action. Forget clunky job boards—we use vector spaces to match learners to jobs, projects, and more with pinpoint precision. The InginiOS App simplifies it all, linking skills to opportunities in real time. The built-in decentralized Marketplace ditches bloat for a ‘Float’—redirecting $1.5 trillion in wasted resources to fund learning and reward mastery.
Engine 2 ditches the outdated maze of standardized tests for a dynamic, real-time Proof of Learning Protocol. Learners earn points—Explore to Mastery—through videos, projects, and peers, tracked by open, adaptive algorithms. Points fuel Open Verifiable Credentials: blockchain-secured, evolving badges that prove skills instantly. All in a transparent, gamified system that grows with you. This isn’t just validation; it’s recognizing what you really know.
Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all education. Engine 1 redefines learning with a dynamic, real-time system that crafts personalized paths for every learner. Forget rigid curriculums—Material Modulation breaks knowledge into remixable blocks, Global Scale Modulation transforms vast resources, and a 'Google Maps for Learning' guides you to your goals. It’s learning that fits you, connecting mastery to real-world impact. It’s personal.
Imagine education and workforce development as intuitive as your GPS—guiding learners like refugees, professionals, and students to their goals with precision. No more outdated systems or endless intermediaries. Through a first-principles rethink, I write about three engines: personalized learning paths, real-time skill validation, and seamless opportunity matching—all in a system built for you, not itself. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a revolution turning B.L.O.A.T. into F.L.O.A.T. Ready to navigate the future? The engines are humming.
Over 150 years ago, we built a system to mass-produce factory workers. Today, it’s a bloated maze of middlemen—curriculum designers, credentialing bodies, HR gatekeepers—standing between you and your goals. Why are we still running this 19th-century assembly line in a digital world? I asked learners outside this mess what they really need. Spoiler: it’s not faster horses. It’s a complete rethink—and that’s exactly what’s coming.
As summer holidays start my kids and I kicked off a project that unfolded over the course of 6 weeks. As usual, we decided to do something wild that we have no idea how to do… yet… We decided to build AI's that we will personally train to become digital twins of ourselves.

“Cutting edge topics and emerging fields aren’t taught in school. They move too fast. @BodoHoenen has a solution: decentralized education where every learner is a teacher.”
It's humbling to be confronted with a truth that is so self-evident and yet so far from what we know to be true. But what we KNOW and what is TRUE may not always agree.
Proof of learning could happen as you learn, each step you take with no added effort. All we need are learner’s learning, and teachers teaching, no middlemen.
Proof of learning is critical to getting anywhere in life. But today’s systems that prove learning are cumbersome, “One-sized-fits-all”, and inaccurate, especially over time.
We are embarking on an exciting journey with a as yet loosely connected group of innovators to Build AIs to help us learn and teach anything. Accessible through any web browser, in AR or VR. A guide to the metaverse and all human knowledge. Think VR/AR, our learning map project + AI.

Here is a video we created about our project:
Can you guess what this project is all about? You will get to know soon :)
I’ve been building a "Google maps" for learning using various methods, and I'd like to test out another method, This time with a clear and pretty easy-to-develop initial MVP. I'm looking for a Machine learning engineer and someone with Front end development experience, to join me and some others in this pretty fun little project, that could go far!
Here is a recent guest lecture I gave on open innovation, the Learning map, the Doing map, and how they helped my daughter fix her paralyzed arm. This is a shortened version of the lecture that covers the main points.
I've been working for several years within Open innovation, and for the last year, I've been writing a book about it. To do further research for the book I'm interviewing a whole bunch of scientists, thinkers, and innovators from around the world. We will be discussing open innovation, collective intelligence, computer science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and practical applications of those to solve real-world challenges. Much like everything else I do, I'll be releasing these research calls openly as a podcast for anyone to watch.
I hope you will enjoy this journey of learning with me as we explore some deep rabbit holes together.

Exploring Open Innovation with Bodo Hoenen
If we can openly share all the things we have learned, and then share all the things we can do with what we have learned, we can rapidly accelerate the good we can do in the world. This is a guest lecture I gave over zoom at the L'École LDLC University. I hope you can find some inspiration here.
I'm thinking of starting a video podcast, focusing on how to build a Super Collective Intelligence. So yea, it won't be interesting to many, but it will be for a small few
We will start from the ground up, with each episode focusing on a specific part that would be needed, which then becomes a brick on top of which future episodes would be built on. The goal here is to discuss and come out of each episode with tangible, practical ways to apply what we had discussed. As a seed, we could follow the topics presented in the book I'm writing, on the same topic (dev4x.com/project-sci), and I'm confident that the discussions will quickly lead down interesting paths.
To get this going, I'm looking for a few like-minded friends who want to join me. Each discussion will likely span 2 hours, of which an hour will be used and posted. I'll aim to have two or three guests who are specialists in the given topic for that episode. And while I do have a little funding for this project, this will likely go towards marketing and possibly video editing.
Any takers !? message me.
I'm in the process of writing a book, I was planning to spend the year writing it and releasing the first draft at the end of the year, but I decided I would release the first few chapters here as a work in progress, and use this as an opportunity to build a project around this work sooner. What I am about to share below is a draft, but it's a good start. I hope you could enjoy this: Here
This is the powerful story of how the connected world empowered my daughter to build a brain-controlled exoskeleton for her paralyzed arm.
For 25 years I’ve suffered from cluster headaches. Several years ago I found a way to stop them, which is when I originally posted this. Since then many people have read this, tried the same, and successfully stopped their headaches.
The story of how my 5-year-old daughter and I built a robotic exoskeleton for her paralyzed arm. After learning there were no treatments we could afford, and only a 2% chance of recovery, we decided to leverage Open Social Innovation to build our own solution. A year later, leveraging the collective intelligence of experts around the world we built an exoskeleton, 100X cheaper, 10X lighter, and one that enabled her motor neurons to repair themselves! Today she can move, unassisted and has recovered 60% of her strength! This is our story:
