Ubbu is an online platform with the social mission of preparing all children for the new digital society through the teaching of Computer Science and Programming. It aims to contribute to positioning Portugal at the forefront of the development of computational thinking and digital literacy among students in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cycles of Basic Education in public schools. In 2026/2027, the platform will reinforce the content of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity, broadening the scope of digital literacy worked on in the classroom.
The initiative has the support of EduQA, IP and is free for public schools in mainland Portugal.
With the online platform, teachers are able to teach programming through games, videos, and interactive exercises already organized into modules and accompanied by their respective lesson plans. In addition to programming, the content seeks integration with other curricular areas, such as Mathematics, specifically in Computational Thinking, Portuguese, or Science, and addresses Citizenship themes through reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Ubbu was designed for the classroom, giving teachers, even those who are not technology and ICT specialists, all the necessary support tools, such as training (also free), lesson plans, tutorials and help articles, as well as technical support from the team.
In 2025/2026, in mainland Portugal, this platform was used in approximately 470 school clusters, by 1,600 teachers and more than 53,000 students, who carried out more than 9.2 million activities.
To register, teachers only need to access this link: links.ubbu.io/2026-27 .
