The new digital era opens up great possiblilities in education. Mate Marote is a platform including activities and educational games for massive scale interventions. Recent creation of Fundación Sadosky, has favored the collaboration between industry and academia in projects involving novel methods and ideas with big scale software platforms which require experience in architecture and high-end software development. The collaboration established showed exceptional conditions for the mutual benefit: the incorporation of academic research in educational neuroscience in the industry and the transference of well-established methodology and software development experience in the academic environment.
