Hopspots is a co-creation establishment built on the belief that real value is created in collaboration with the end-users of the product. To involve users in the design-process CxD facilitated an innovation course together with four public schools in Denmark during the fall of 2015. The children worked with idea generation and concept development and competed against each other with the aim to create a new game for Hopspots. Uglegårdskolen won the contest with their idea for the game FlowDance. As part of the award the game will be developed and become an integrated part of Hopspots.

Early in 2015 the first Hopspots game was ready for a test run. The game was well-received by the children who found it to be fun and motivating. This lead to the investment of an investor and the development took off.

With support from the non-profit organization LivingItLab it became possible to create a prototype that could demonstrate whether it was a useful concept. By the end of 2014 the first real prototype of Hopspots was ready. The shells for the spots were vacuum-shaped via an old machine and the colours were hand painted. At the same time the app, which was meant to work together with the spots, was being developed. Since then many prototypes have been developed in order to create the right design. Hopspots is made in Denmark and great attention to detail, quality and the good design experience is paid.

The company Child Experience Design, CxD, is established and the development of Hopspots begins.  

To put her vision into practice Aviaja participated in a growth process. Here she worked on developing business plans and goals for Hopspots. The process resulted in expression of interest from two investors. At the same time she presented Hopspots to a panel at ConnectDenmark and got advice and approval of the business plan. Because of this qualification Aviaja was able to start her business.
