Brazil Projects
Collaborating with Brazilian public education systems to revamp science education and pioneer hands-on learning.
Computer science and AI education in schools (CLIC)
CLIC (Computational Literacies Integrated into the Curriculum) is a TLTL initiative that integrates computer science into K–12 education across subjects such as mathematics, humanities, and social sciences. Through the co-design of interdisciplinary learning experiences and teacher professional development, the project supports schools in implementing Brazil’s BNCC Computing curriculum in meaningful and sustainable ways.
Transforming Science Education in Sobral’s Public Schools (IDEA)
IDEIA Sobral is a TLTL initiative that transformed science education across Sobral’s public school system through an integrated approach combining curriculum innovation, teacher professional development, co-design of instructional materials, and the creation of school science laboratories. Grounded in science education research and aligned with Brazil’s National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC), the project supports long-term, systemic educational change.
Brazilian Observatory for Artificial Intelligence in Education (OBSIA)
The Brazilian Observatory for Artificial Intelligence in Education (OBSIA) is a joint initiative of Fundação Itaú, Fundação Telefônica Vivo, and TLTL that supports the critical, ethical, and evidence-based adoption of artificial intelligence in Brazilian public education. By synthesizing research and translating evidence into practical guidance, the Observatory helps education systems make informed decisions about AI while promoting equity, protecting children and adolescents, and strengthening AI literacy.
