Pioneering EdTech in game-based learning and gamification
Workshops in game creation, robotics and app development for children and teenagers aged 6 to 17. More than 6,000 students reached across 6 Brazilian states and in Congo since 2022, most of them in public schools.

Goal of R$ 850,000 (≈ US$166,000) on Kickante. Every R$ 100,000 (≈ US$20,000) puts 150 children in vulnerable situations through our workshops in game creation, sustainable robotics and programming. Support starts at R$ 25 (≈ US$5).
Tax incentive laws
Plug and Plus has projects approved under incentive laws at all three levels of government. In practice: part of the tax your company already pays can be channeled into game, robotics and app workshops for children in public schools, with a tax deduction and impact reports for your ESG agenda.
Federal · Culture Incentive Law
Companies taxed under the lucro real regime can direct part of the corporate income tax they owe to approved cultural projects, such as our game creation workshops, which bring together culture, technology and creative training.
Municipal · Service Tax (ISS)
In the cities where we operate, companies can direct part of their ISS to approved educational and cultural projects, turning a local tax into direct impact in the community.
State · State incentive laws
Under state culture incentive laws, companies that pay ICMS can support our approved projects and deduct the amount from the state tax, expanding workshops to more schools and territories.
Our team guides your company through the whole process, from the contribution to the reporting.

Whether you want to build a project from scratch or scale an existing initiative, the Network Hub offers a structure tailored to your brand.
I want to hire →Active methodologies that build critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving. Each track has a flagship program, and everything is adaptable in content, hours and format for your institution, company or project.
Students discover the architecture behind the fun (narrative, art, programming logic and player psychology) and leave with a game of their own, ready to play.
Gamethon Plug and Plus
An immersion event with ready-made assets where young people create games for the UN SDGs at full speed.
Teacher training included
Set up this workshop
Hands-on labs that combine hardware and software to solve real challenges, from the first circuit to a robot that moves, thinks and responds to the world.
Green Robotics
Automated systems with ecodesign and circular economy: low-impact technology, from where the components come from to how they are discarded.
Teacher training included
Set up this workshop
An agile prototyping journey with logic blocks and ready-made components: the focus is on the architecture of the solution and its social impact, not on memorizing code.
Creative App
From problem to publication: every student turns an idea from their own community into a working app that actually solves something.
Teacher training included
Set up this workshopPlug and Plus has dedicated work for autistic and neurodivergent children, with a methodology of our own built for different ways of thinking and interacting. Games, robotics and digital platforms become concrete tools for cognitive, social-emotional and communication development, always respecting each child’s pace.
We have our own platform built for neurodivergent children: educational mini-games that build cognitive, social-emotional and academic skills, with accessibility and game design made for different profiles and learning paces. Because it is white-label, we adapt the platform to each client’s identity and goals, or build a new one, tailored to the audience you want to reach.
Talk about the platformWe have our own methodology designed for different cognitive profiles: predictable routines, adjustable stimuli and achievements in small steps. Games and robotics become tools for focus, communication and self-regulation.
Classes adapted for people with disabilities, with pace, language and materials adjusted to each student, including resources for deaf children.
More than 90% of our students come from public schools. Public schools are the priority because that is where we find the children facing the most financial and social vulnerability, the ones with the least access to technology outside the classroom. Social inclusion is not a debating point: it is the foundation of our model.
Device-free workshops bring logic and computational thinking to communities where infrastructure is still a challenge.
In Congo, we trained 8 local teachers and brought educational innovation to 60 children. Our methodology crosses borders.
Every project is born linked to the Sustainable Development Goals. Our students create solutions for real challenges.

Plug and Plus was essential in structuring our technology workshops at the event. The experience was incredible, both for us and for the participants.
Taking the robotics course was transformative for my son. He learned, had fun and built skills like teamwork and creativity.
I used to just play games. Now I know how to make my own, and that is what I want to do when I grow up.
We work with children and teenagers aged 6 to 17. Content and pace change according to age. We also train adult teachers and educators.
The Network Hub is for organizations that want to create or scale network-wide impact projects: we handle the methodology, the management and the operation. The Edu Hub brings together our own workshops, in three tracks (Game creation, Educational robotics and App development), ready for schools, companies and projects to hire in whatever format they need.
It can be in person, online or hybrid. We adapt content, hours and goals to the reality of each group. For places with little infrastructure, we even have unplugged workshops that teach programming logic without a computer.
Yes, and it is one of the things we are proudest of. We have our own methodology designed for different cognitive profiles, with predictable routines, adjustable stimuli and respect for each child’s pace. Games and robotics become tools for focus, communication and social-emotional development. We also have our own educational platform for neurodivergent children, which can be adapted to each client’s identity.
Yes, and that is exactly why the Network Hub exists. We build social responsibility programs with measurable results, connected to the UN SDGs and carrying your brand’s identity. Our projects are also approved under tax incentive laws (Rouanet, ISS and ICMS), so part of the investment can come out of the tax you already owe.
Yes. Every Edu Hub workshop includes teacher training, so the knowledge stays with the institution after the project ends.
It depends on the track. In game creation we use GameMaker, Roblox, Minecraft and 2D/3D engines. In robotics, educational and sustainable robotics kits. In app development, prototyping platforms with logic blocks.
