2e Studio
2e Studio supports neurodivergent children's intense interests and helps turn those interests into real, shipping products.
Rooted in lived experience of AuDHD, we work by building actual services and applications alongside the child rather than following conventional educational paths.
Approach
Many children with AuDHD develop deep, focused interests that do not fit easily into standard classroom structures. Performance and capability often remain invisible when the environment prioritizes compliance over engagement with systems, data, and tools.
2e Studio starts from those interests. We treat them as the primary material for learning and product development. The goal is not to adapt the child to a fixed curriculum, but to create conditions where the child's way of noticing, organizing, and exploring information can become working software.
Projects are real. They have architecture, data models, interfaces, and iteration cycles. Adult involvement varies—sometimes denser scaffolding, sometimes lighter—always calibrated to the child's current capacity while steadily increasing completeness over time.
Work
Hudadak
Private · closed testing
A private Android app currently in closed testing on Google Play. It is not yet publicly available and coverage is limited to Korea, so no public link is provided at this stage.
The interface was implemented as closely as possible from screens Minhu drew by hand while the project was being planned and shared in Notion.
It ingests multiple public data APIs to maintain a stable data supply and includes home-screen widget support. A small group of family and friends are using it in testing form.
Air quality and weather data provided by AirKorea (Korea Environment Corporation), the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the World Air Quality Index project (WAQI), Open-Meteo, OpenAQ, and NASA FIRMS.
Shrimp Predictor
In development
A small toy service for exploring the color-genetics of ornamental freshwater shrimp. Matching is allowed only within the same species—Neocaridina (cherry-type) with Neocaridina, Bee shrimp with Bee shrimp, Amano with Amano—and the app flags cross-species pairings as non-viable.
Sparked by unusual color variations appearing in a home aquarium. Still under active development and not yet open to the public.
Team
Minhu
Minhu did not speak until the age of three. From a very early age, however, he showed an unusual facility with machines and digital interfaces. He installed every available version of domestic navigation apps and could detect even minor UI changes between them.
He developed a sustained interest in fine-dust data and checked air-quality numbers daily across multiple apps. When he drew, the images often came from scenes he had seen in navigation systems.
Around age four he began speaking more. One of his early questions was “Is there another Earth?” That question led him to Universe Sandbox 2, a project he has continued to explore in depth ever since.
Throughout this period he repeatedly expressed the wish to build services and programs the way his mother did.
His mother, who had worked as a B2C service planner with a background in data, recognized patterns in how he engaged with systems and information. At the time she did not fully understand why her approach aligned so closely with his. Later, while seeking support for Minhu, both received the same AuDHD diagnosis.
That shared lived experience clarified that a product-oriented, interest-driven way of working might be more useful for him than conventional educational paths.
2e Studio was formed around this recognition. Mother and child work on real projects together—sometimes with more adult scaffolding, sometimes with less—gradually increasing completeness as Minhu grows.
This is not a story of maternal devotion. It is a practical process of mutual understanding that happens when people who share a similar cognitive style build things side by side.
