00:00A presto!
00:02A presto!
00:03Ok, voglio una fila per ordine alfabetica in D?
00:08A mio lugar.
00:10A mio lugar.
00:15Vamos usar la plataforma de UBO
00:18e mostrare lo che conseguimos fare
00:20e lo que aprendemos con UBO.
00:24It's the last day of school before the summer break
00:27for the pupils at this renowned international school in Lisbon.
00:31The atmosphere is relaxed,
00:32but behind the playful exercises the children are running on their tablets
00:36lies a lesson in digital literacy and computer programming.
00:41Their tool is UBO,
00:43a Portuguese educational platform designed for children aged 6 to 14.
00:48It looks like they are just playing a game,
00:50but they are working a lot of different things on them.
00:54They need to understand, well, I have a computer,
00:56what do I need to use the computer?
00:58I have a robot, what do I need to make him do?
01:00So it's logic, it's math, they need to count the steps.
01:03Here we need to, like, read what is here
01:07about the international space station.
01:11It helps them to read instructions,
01:13otherwise they won't pass the level.
01:15It makes them understand,
01:17ok, so in my life I also need to read everything
01:19and I need to complete all the steps.
01:21This is the World Cup.
01:22This is the World Cup, exactly.
01:24Do you want to try to answer?
01:25Yes.
01:26Yeah, I want.
01:27At the same time that they are learning computational thinking,
01:30computational skills,
01:31they are also learning about the World Cup
01:34and the countries, capitals.
01:37This also helps them to feel more comfortable
01:40with typing numbers of letters.
01:43Typing skills.
01:43Typing skills, it's really important for them in the future.
01:47And the fact that it's a game
01:48makes them want to be better.
01:50Nice!
01:5118 seconds!
01:54We meet Ubu's CEO and founder
01:56in a discreet street of Lisbon.
01:58As true digital nomads,
02:00he and his team have set up their offices
02:02in the relaxed atmosphere of a co-working space.
02:06A former financial and strategic advisor,
02:09João Magalhaes turned social entrepreneur in 2015
02:12when he and a few friends founded the Code for All group
02:15dedicated to spreading digital literacy.
02:20Technology was entering into our lives,
02:23into our jobs, into our homes,
02:25into the schools of our children.
02:27And we believed that no one was prepared
02:30for the speed that was happening.
02:31We decided to launch two different programs.
02:34One was how to help people
02:36without any background experience in tech
02:38and to move to work in tech.
02:40And also at the same time,
02:41how to prepare the young generations
02:43to have a sustainable future
02:45in an increasingly digital world.
02:47So we built a turnkey solution
02:48for any teacher, any school, or any government
02:51that was to introduce skills like
02:53digital literacy, computational thinking,
02:56creativity, STEAM,
02:57and more recently, AI and cybersecurity.
03:02OUBU now reaches half a million children
03:04and is used by more than 8,000 teachers worldwide,
03:08mainly in Europe, but also in Latin America and Asia.
03:1317 of the group's 200 employees
03:15are currently working for the platform.
03:19Content is constantly invented or updated.
03:23The kids don't problem with written language.
03:26We teach them to use these blocks
03:28and create their own code.
03:30It's all related to a narrative with SDGs.
03:34Sustainable development goals.
03:36They will create something that is ethical,
03:39good for the world,
03:40use the technology for good.
03:42We live in a world where these skills
03:44are no longer a choice.
03:46They're completely mandatory for anyone.
03:48and knowing how to work within technology,
03:51but also with technology in a safe way,
03:53in a responsible way,
03:54and in an ethical way,
03:56it's incredibly important.
03:57We're not trying to make every kid
04:00become a programmer.
04:01We want them to learn the skills
04:04that they are going to be useful
04:05to their day-to-day activities.
04:07I really believe we are giving superpowers
04:10to local teachers.
04:11And also at the same time,
04:12we are helping these younger generations
04:14to do a big transformation.
04:16and that transformation is moving
04:17from consumers of technology
04:19into creators of technology.
04:22Making that shift accessible tool
04:24is at the heart of the company's
04:26social impact commitment.
04:28We have a partnership
04:29with the Portugal Social Innovation Fund,
04:32with the Mayo Foundation,
04:34with Siemens, with Montepiou,
04:36that support public schools
04:38that want to have this program for free.
04:41The entrepreneur had invited
04:43the executive director of the Mayo Foundation,
04:46Portugal's top telecom company's
04:48social impact branch,
04:50to meet us.
04:51Supporting Ubu was an obvious choice,
04:53says the head of the foundation,
04:55focused on digital literacy
04:56and inclusive technology.
04:59First of all,
04:59we prepare the new generation
05:01for what's coming.
05:03And the change will be huge
05:05in terms of the skills they need.
05:07With Ubu,
05:08and by being in schools
05:10where you really need
05:11priority intervention
05:12that are in less favorable areas,
05:15you give access
05:17to these capabilities
05:19to children from all backgrounds
05:21and you ensure that
05:23where you were born
05:24does not define
05:26what you can achieve in life.
05:29We visit a school
05:31in one of Lisbeth's
05:32priority intervention
05:33educational areas.
05:35Adua and her classmates
05:37wouldn't have missed
05:38the last online lesson
05:39of the term
05:40with their teacher Isabel
05:41for anything in the world.
05:53Trained in digital education,
05:55Isabel was specifically
05:57entrusted with this class
05:58made in majority
05:59of foreign children.
06:01Como é que vocês vão descobrir
06:02aqui,
06:03como é que vão contar
06:04os passos?
06:05Como é que a gente
06:06vai entrar?
06:08Contaste o quê?
06:09Robôs?
06:11Os?
06:12Os quadrados.
06:12Ah, boa.
06:13É isso mesmo, os quadrados.
06:14Muito bem.
06:16Como temos muitas nacionalidades
06:17aqui,
06:18nós não conseguimos comunicar.
06:20A Ubu foi o nosso
06:21ponto de encontro
06:22porque todos gostam
06:23de usar a Ubu
06:24e era uma forma
06:25de eu captar
06:26a atenção dos meus alunos.
06:27Logo, a partir daí,
06:28já conseguia introduzir
06:30outras temáticas.
06:31Estão autónomos,
06:32sabem utilizar o computador
06:33com segurança,
06:34ou o tablet,
06:35sabem navegar,
06:36sabem escrever.
06:37Neste momento,
06:38foi um ano só ainda,
06:39mas já vejo grandes progressos.
06:44According to the Organization
06:45for Economic Cooperation
06:47and Development,
06:4865% of children
06:50in primary school today
06:51will work in jobs
06:52that don't exist yet.
06:54A world of opportunities
06:56is opening up
06:57for digitally savvy children
06:59like Arwa,
06:59whose family opened
07:01their doors to us
07:01at the end of the school day.
07:03Do you think it's fun?
07:04I love how we can do activities
07:06and learn in the same time.
07:08I learned how to program,
07:12how to design.
07:13We can make our own robot.
07:17So you're making it pink,
07:18right?
07:20Always pink.
07:21Hey, enjoy it.
07:23I hope that Arwa could do that.
07:24I'm watching Arwa do that.
07:26So, Sally, Arwa,
07:27good job.
07:28And keep it up.
07:29I personally work in finance
07:31and now we use a lot of codings.
07:34I'm learning is a hard way
07:35at this age.
07:36I think in future,
07:37in 10 years and 20 years,
07:39you cannot do anything
07:40without coding
07:41and programming
07:42and robotics.
07:43Only the best of us
07:45who know these things,
07:46they will be the leader.
07:47They will be future leaders.
