Interacpedia is a platform that transforms the way of attracting, connecting, developing and identifying people through an experiential and gamified learning model, focused on building massive communities that present proposals to problems, needs or opportunities that organizations seek to solve, using the technology to demonstrate their purpose, know-how, do and…

We have selected suitable material for primary school students and we have conducted a small campaign to engage students. Students during the isolation period, in-home conditions (with the help of adults) perform experiments, challenges, and the same are presented on social networks. This relieves them of the stress of closure,…

Delay Lines (feedback) draws from our research and work with silica-based mediums such as glass, integrated circuits, and soft robotics. Silica – one of the most common substances on Earth – is formed when massive stars explode. This stardust permeates our bodies and all aspects of our built world through…

Mobilising the power of innovation to address societal and environmental challenges.
