In 2014, he founded Escribo, with the purpose of infusing innovation in schools to improve learning. Its first product was an eBook platform that is currently used by Brazil’s leading publishers and millions of students, surpassing competitors like Amazon and Adobe. In 2015, Escribo started to develop Frei.re Lab, a platform that allows teachers and students to create their own interactive content. With Frei.re Lab, schools are no longer mere consumers of the content produced by major publishers, but they also become authentic producers. Frei.re Lab is easy to use and enables educators to create meaningful learning experiences that engage their students. The games, simulators and presentations created in Frei.re Lab can be distributed offline and can function on low-cost computers, smartphones, and tablets. WebSite: www.escribo.com
