Structural Learning is a cognitive scaffold


that helps students build lasting, conceptual knowledge. It’s cross- curricular, cross-phase and works out of the box. Using specially designed building bricks, this new approach helps students think more effectively by engaging them in collab- orative, connection- making activities. This method has positive implications for literacy.


02


EvidenceB develops digital modules that


include tests, activities and dashboards, based on specific topics on the school curriculum (maths, languages, science). These modules are based on the latest concepts and results of cognitive science, strengthened by an artifi- cial intelligence engine, which contribute to adaptive learning. They are sold for the most part to school publishers to supplement textbooks.

children, teachers and families within a school community are para- mount. The start-up designed, developed and tested apps to monitor and improve cognitive fitness. Poor cognition is a major component and risk factor in mental illnesses. As well as improving mental health, it makes children smarter, teachers more productive and gives families the control they seek.
