Dream Ride – Social network for creative kids

Restful API Learning project

Dream Ride is not just an ordinary social network – it’s a vibrant community that revolves around a captivating pop-up book. Born from the depths of creative spirit, the book emerged as my university project, showcasing my passion towards paper engineering. The pictures on this website proudly represent the original Bulgarian version of the book.

In the book market where innovation often takes a back seat, Dream Ride emerges as a trailblazer, offering an immersive experience unlike any other. Unlike traditional pop-up books that arrive complete and ready to explore, my idea was for a unique approach that involves children in the exciting journey of assembling the book themselves.
Through cutting, folding, and sticking, young minds become active participants in the creation of their very own Dream Ride adventure. This interactive process not only teaches them about the inner workings of pop-up books but also hones their fine motor skills, concentration, and attention to detail.

Book – gateway to social network

Dream Ride is more than just a book series – it is a gateway to a vibrant social network that sparks collaboration and unleashes the power of collective imagination. Once parents sign up and register their children, young dreamers gain access to a world where they can shape the future of Dream Ride. Aspiring writers, talented illustrators, and creative paper engineers converge on the platform, working hand in hand to bring new chapters and captivating visuals to life.

By becoming a part of the Dream Ride social network, children open the door to a realm where their ideas and proposals hold significance. They have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing narrative, sharing their imaginative concepts and fueling the creation of future editions. It is a place where their voices are heard, and their visions shape the destiny of Dream Ride.
Beyond the realms of creativity, Dream Ride also fosters valuable life skills. Collaboration and teamwork are at the core of our community, offering young minds the chance to learn how to cooperate and communicate effectively with their peers. Through collaborative projects, shared ideas, and mutual support, children develop essential teamwork experience that will serve them well in future endeavours.
Dream Ride is a catalyst for unleashing the full potential of children’s creativity, nurturing their imaginations, and fostering a sense of collaboration that will guide them throughout their lives.
