Currently, the mSchools educational community energizes a digital social innovation program to promote synergies between educational centers and edtech companies and manage to respond to the real needs of the educational community through a transformative, safe and healthy use of information and communication technologies. Last December, the first 'mSchools Lab' call was presented, which sought innovative digital solutions at the national and international level that specifically addressed the link between technology and motivation, the personalization of the learning and school success. A few months later, the first call for 'mSchools Lab' received more than a hundred different implementation proposals, both for the type of organizations (startups, SMEs, corporations, foundations or universities) and for the variety of technologies (platforms or applications, artificial intelligence, immersive technologies, robotics, 3D or other types of hardware). At first, sixteen semi-finalists were chosen. After additional information was analyzed, six finalists were selected. At the end of March, the six implementation proposals thought up by 3rd and 4th ESO students from public and charter schools in Catalunya will be presented and the two winners will be chosen.
