Tecla Colorida is a spin-off of the University of Porto (Faculty of Engineering) and INESC Porto. Founded in December 2008, it specializes in software development and solutions for educational purposes. Its main product is schoooools.com an educational and social platform, especially developed to primary school (from 4 to 12 years old).

It is a simple, safe and easy to use platform that brings youngsters Information and Communications Technology together (Internet, computers and interactive whiteboards). Students, parents and teachers can create documents freely, share them with the school community and other educative communities, contributing to a better integration of the school with its external environment.

The project began in November 2006, when some master students from the Faculty of Engineering developed several prototypes exploring the idea of “school wiki for elementary school students”. From then to its national launch, in May 2009, the platform was improved and simplified and currently has more than 200 registered schools.
