Elias Robot is an innovative language-learning solution that facilitates speaking skills enabling students to practice multiple languages by listening and speaking with Elias in real-time. Students are encouraged to engage in conversation without the fear of making mistakes by positive reinforcement and gamified feedback. With our teacher tools, lessons can be more interactive and students’ learning progress data can be used to customize content to the needs of a class. Saving time and making language learning fun!

NOTEBLOC

A mobile scanner app and organiser has been developed by this start-up, tackling the struggle of keeping documents organised. Its main function is to scan and digitalise all kind of documents under different formats. Teachers and students use it to scan, save, organise and share notes, homework, documents or exams by using only their mobile phones.

This start-up empowers people with motor and intellectual disabilities around the world to develop their skills and individualities by using disruptive Assistive Technology. By creating a wide variety of interconnected products together with an educational platform, it offers solutions in three different areas: personal autonomy, special education and rehabilitation.

Being part of the IMPACT Edtech Remote Schooling programME was a fantastic experience for us! Our teachers from Spain, Italy, and Portugal were incredibly supportive and participated very actively in every step of the program, we are incredibly thankful to them for their constant feedback and for finding creative ways to work with Elias! The support offered by mentors also allowed us to advance our market and business strategies and to learn more about the different start-up ecosystems in Europe. We could not have reached our goals without the enthusiastic support from the students who laugh, chat and learn with Elias during this past month! Being selected “best in class” enables Elias Robot to further continue our journey of positive impact in language education around the world.

Being named as Best in Class is a huge honor and responsibility. We will continue to work hard to make Notebloc Scanner even better and to bring the app to as many students and teachers as possible around the world. We believe that the benefits of being Best in Class will be of great help for accomplishing these goals. Thanks to the IMPACT EdTech consortium, we will have access to an incredible network, including Ministries of Education from different European countries. Also, we will be part of the Future Classroom Lab. Additionally, we will have the chance to meet potential investors. These are doors that open up for us right now and will for sure contribute to make a bigger impact in Education. All we can say is Thank You for this award and opportunity. We will definitely put all our efforts to make the most of it.

The IMPACT EdTech school pilot was an amazing experience and a big milestone achievement for Key2enable as it allowed us to introduce our solution to European countries. Without the tireless efforts of our fantastic pilot teachers, we would not have been able to achieve the same results. They learned quickly how to use our solution and how to implement it in their teaching routines- despite all the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic imposed. We are aware that the teachers are the catalysts of our success and the ones that make impactful changes to the lives of their students. An unforgettable experience from a fantastic program with amazing results!
