Curricular programme · Created in Europe for the world
The step that takes your school international.
Does your school already teach English and Spanish? Programa BE turns them into working languages: students use them to research, create and present real projects. It is a curricular programme built on Design Thinking. It fits into your timetable without changing your educational model, and your own teachers deliver it, with training and support from our team.

Method · Design Thinking
Every Challenge is built in five phases.
Design Thinking was created to solve complex problems by putting people first. In the classroom, every project becomes a Challenge: a real problem that students research, solve and present.
Empathise
Looking inwards and outwards. Students observe, ask and listen to real people to understand who the problem affects and how they experience it.
Key question
Who does the problem affect, and how?
Visible skills
Teamwork, critical thinking, creativity and communication, assessed with a rubric in every project.
Language with a purpose
Students speak, write and present in Spanish or English because their project needs it.
A real final product
Every project ends with a result that students present to a real audience.
Inside every Challenge
Everything a teacher needs to teach tomorrow.
Each Challenge arrives set up in the virtual classroom, with everything needed to take it into class.
Teacher guide
Project overview, preparation calendar and session-by-session materials.
Kick-off video
A short video to play at the start of each session and launch the Challenge.
Language scaffolding
Structure cards, a glossary and common mistakes based on students' mother tongue.
Interactive activities
Short pre-tasks and interactive exercises to get ready for the session.
Rubric and portfolio
Analytic assessment of the product and students' personal reflection.
Final project
Instructions, deliverables and a real audience to close the project.
Kit Maker BE
Learning by doing starts in the box.
Every class gets its own Kit Maker, included in Programa BE. The materials cost the school nothing extra.
Everything to go from idea to prototype
Tools, building materials and technology resources, designed around the year's Challenges.
Ready for every class
Programa BE prepares the kit and delivers it ready to use. Teachers don't need to source or buy anything.
Safety first
Classroom-appropriate materials, protective equipment and clear rules of use from day one.
Learning with your hands
Students build, test and improve their prototypes. The Challenge idea becomes something they can touch and show.
Digital book BE
The book students use on their own.
One interactive digital book per year group, inside the programme's platform, in Spanish and English. Students use it on their own, and the activities mark themselves.
