00:30The atmosphere is relaxed, but 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 Ubu, a Portuguese educational platform designed for children aged 6 to 14.
00:48It looks like they are just playing a game, but they are working a lot of different things on them.
00:54They need to understand, well, I have a computer, what do I need to use a computer?
00:57I 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 about the International Space Station.
01:11It helps them to read instructions, otherwise they won't pass the level.
01:15It makes them understand, okay, so in my life I also need to read everything and I need to complete
01:20all 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, computational skills, they are also learning about the World Cup
01:34and the countries, capitals.
01:37This also helps them to feel more comfortable with typing numbers of letters.
01:43Typing skills, it's really important for them in the future.
01:46And the fact that it's a game makes them want to be better.
01:50Nice, 18 seconds.
01:54We meet Ubu's CEO and founder in a discreet street of Lisbon.
01:58As true digital nomads, he and his team have set up their offices in the relaxed atmosphere of a co
02:04-working space.
02:06A former financial and strategic advisor, João Magalhaes turned social entrepreneur in 2015,
02:12when he and a few friends founded the Code for All group dedicated to spreading digital literacy.
02:20Technology was entering into our lives, into our jobs, into our homes, into the schools of our children.
02:27And we believe that no one was prepared for the speed that was happening.
02:31We decided to launch two different programs.
02:34One was how to help people without any background experience in tech to move to work in tech.
02:40And also at the same time, how to prepare the young generations to have a sustainable future in an increasingly
02:45digital world.
02:46So we built a turnkey solution for any teacher, any school, or any government that was to introduce skills like
02:53digital literacy,
02:54computational thinking, creativity, STEAM, and more recently, AI and cybersecurity.
03:02Ubu now reaches half a million children and 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 are currently working for the platform.
03:18Content is constantly invented or updated.
03:23The kids don't program with written language.
03:26We teach them to use these blocks and 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, good for the world, use the technology for good.
03:42We live in a world where these skills are no longer a choice.
03:46They're completely mandatory for anyone.
03:48And knowing how to work within technology, but also with technology in a safe way, in a responsible way,
03:54and in an ethical way, it's incredibly important.
03:57We're not trying to make every kid become a programmer.
04:01We want them to learn the skills that they are going to be useful to their day-to-day activities.
04:07I really believe that we are giving superpowers to local teachers.
04:11And also at the same time, we are helping these younger generations to do a big transformation.
04:16And the transformation is moving from consumers of technology into creators of technology.
04:21Making that shift accessible tool is at the heart of the company's social impact commitment.
04:28We have a partnership with the Portugal Social Innovation Fund, with the Mayo Foundation, with Siemens, with Montepio,
04:36that support public schools that want to have this program for free.
04:40The entrepreneur had invited the executive director of the Mayo Foundation,
04:46Portugal's top telecom company's social impact branch, to meet us.
04:51Supporting Ubu was an obvious choice, says the head of the foundation,
04:55focused on digital literacy and inclusive technology.
04:59First of all, we prepare the new generation for what's coming.
05:03And the change will be huge in terms of the skills they need.
05:07With Ubu, and by being in schools where you really need priority intervention,
05:13that are in less favorable areas,
05:15you give access to these capabilities to children from all backgrounds,
05:22and you ensure that where you were born does not define what you can achieve in life.
05:29We visit a school in one of Lisbon's priority intervention educational areas.
05:36Arua and her classmates wouldn't have missed the last online lesson of the term
05:40with their teacher, Isabel, for anything in the world.
05:53Trained in digital education,
05:56Isabel was specifically entrusted with this class made in majority of foreign children.
06:00How are you going to discover here?
06:03How are you going to count the pass?
06:05How are you going to enter?
06:08Contaste what?
06:09Robots?
06:10Os.
06:11Os?
06:12Ah, good.
06:13That's right, those square ones.
06:14Very good.
06:16As we have many nationalities here, we couldn't communicate.
06:20A Ubu was our point of encounter,
06:22because everyone likes to use it and it was a way to catch my students' attention.
06:27В этом году я уже смогу представить другие тематические.
06:31Они автономы, знают использовать компьютер с безопасностью,
06:34или компьютер, знают navigar, знают escrever.
06:37В данный момент, это было только один год, но я уже вижу большие прогрессы.
06:44According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
06:4865% of children in primary school today will work in jobs that don't exist yet.
06:54A world of opportunities is opening up for digitally-savvy children like Arwa,
07:00whose family opened their doors to us at the end of the school day.
07:03You think it's fun?
07:04I love how we can do activities and learn at the same time.
07:08I learned how to program, how to design, we can make our own robot.
07:17So you're making it pink, right?
07:20Huh? Always pink.
07:21I enjoyed that Arwa could do that.
07:24I'm watching Arwa doing that.
07:26So, Sally, Arwa, good job and keep it up.
07:29I personally work in finance and now we use a lot of coding.
07:34I'm learning is a hard way at this age.
07:36I think in future, in 10 years and 20 years,
07:39you cannot do anything without coding and programming and robotics.
07:43Only the best of us who know these things, they will be the leader.
07:47They will be future leaders.
07:51Yes.
07:52Wow.
07:53Good job.
07:54Okay.
07:55I don't...
07:57I don't...
07:57I don't...
07:57I don't...
07:59I don't...
