NOLAI is looking for new partners
We sought EdTech partners for three specific questions from schools.
Registration is currently closed.
Developing a prototype together
Each year, based on a school's specific challenge and problem definition, we select EdTech companies to co-develop a validated prototype of a three-year period. This process involves close collaboration between the school, EdTech partners, and researchers. The first co-creation projects began in 2023 and will be completed starting in September 2026.
Scaling up to a product
The outcomes of a co-creation project are shared open source, including via the online platform Github. Some promising prototypes may be eligible for a co-implementation project at NOLAI, in which case a suitable company is selected once again. The methodology for this process is currently being developed in a co-implementation pilot.
