She has designed a so-called smart toy and presented it to children from the Odranci kindergarten, the same she used to go to as a child.
At Miss World pageants the girls present their talents as well. While most of the contestants sang and danced, Miss Slovenia decided on a smart toy. "We have smart phones and tablets, but no smart toy. Therefore I dared name my toy 'smart'," said Miss Slovenia.
Children loved the toy
The telecommunication and management student has designed a speaking toy which educates children. "We can upload a fairy tale in a foreign language, and insert the complete electronic circuit into the toy. While playing with the toy children listen to educative contents, e.g. a fairy tale in a foreign language."
The children Miss Slovenia visited in the kindergarten were thrilled by her visit. Her sincere and loving attitude towards the youngest proves Miss Slovenia's succeeded in pleasing those the toy is intended for.

The idea came as a positive surprise to the principal of the kindergarten Andrej Kociper, also with a background in natural sciences: "In the area of computer science females are often more successful than males." Miss Slovenia intends to succeed in the business world with her smart toy.
