How does the Inteli Methodology work in practice?

Meta-projects Based on Ministry of Education (MEC) Guidelines

Based on the National Curriculum Guidelines established by the Ministry of Education, Inteli organizes the themes and competencies of each course into "metaprojects". In other words, students don't study subjects in isolation, but in a transdisciplinary way through projects 

Learning Backlog (LBL)

Each meta-project has a Learning Backlog (LBL), which is a set of contents that must be studied, along with various activities to ensure learning. The LBL is basically the teaching plan for each metaproject.

For example: 

In the first module, the challenge is to create a game for a market partner. In ten weeks, the students will learn: 

Agile development

Game development

Algorithms and programming techniques

Kinematics applied to games

Requirements Engineering

Business Models

User Experience

Oral expression (storytelling)

How do students learn?

Throughout the modules, students carry out three types of activities:

Activities with teachers in the workshops.

Reading and studying previously selected content.

Carrying out the project in groups.

  • Each metaproject is equivalent to a module.
  • Each module lasts 10 weeks.
  • Each year has 4 modules.
  • Each course lasts four years.

To connect theory with practice, Inteli takes on projects based on real demands from partners, such as public and private companies, industries, NGOs and other organizations.

The projects always aim to develop prototypes, acting as a catalyst for scientific and technological research. In practice, each module of the course is an extension and research project.

Throughout each module you will work on a real project for a market partner, developing:  

  • Technical skills specific to your course.
  • Business skills (administration, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, etc.).
  • Socio-emotional skills (self-knowledge, communication, collaboration and critical thinking). These skills are addressed both in the curriculum projects and in cross-curricular activities carried out by the Center for Leadership Development (CDL).

Class and Group Structure

  • Students are divided into groups and assigned to classes.
  • The classrooms, called "ateliers", are equipped to support and encourage this model.
  • Each group works with a business partner and develops prototypes aimed at the problem they bring.

Guidance Teachers and Instructors

  • Each class has an exclusive teacher, called a "mentor teacher", who supports the development of the projects.
  • "Teacher-instructors" lead activities related to their subjects, helping with the content needed to develop the projects.

Presentation of the Prototype to the Market Partner

At the end of ten weeks, the students present the prototype developed to solve the problem to the market partner.

This is Inteli's methodology in a simple and straightforward format.

Here, you learn in practice, develop your skills in collaborative environments and prepare for the future of the job market!
