NanoEduca
The NanoEduca program is an initiative of the CCITUB of the Universitat de Barcelona and is developed jointly with the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology and Nanotechnology (ICN2), la 'Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona' (UAB) and the 'Centre de Recursos Pedagògics Específics de Suport a la Innovació i la Recerca Educativa' (CESIRE).
The goal of NanoEduca is to bring nanotechnology closer to teachers and secondary and high school students by giving them tools to understand the changes that nanotechnology is introducing in our daily lives.
The mSchools Program
The mSchools program is a mEducation initiative promoted by Mobile World Capital Barcelona, in collaboration with the Generalitat de Catalunya, Ajuntament de Barcelona and GSMA. mSchools helps students and teachers to integrate digital technologies in the classroom, which allows offering new forms of teaching and learning, improving academic results and employability.
