SuperCampus is the new learning platform from 3Cat, the public broadcaster of Catalonia, Spain. But this isn\u2019t just another online education tool. What makes it unique? Teachers don\u2019t just use SuperCampus, they create it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50 teachers from primary and high schools have joined forces with audiovisual professionals to co-create short, engaging videos and podcasts. They co-develop, review and even present the content, bringing both pedagogical expertise and classroom experience to the screen. The platform is designed for students aged 6 to 16 and offers curriculum-aligned, accessible content for use both in schools and at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why now? Because we\u2019re facing an educational emergency: in Catalonia, student performance in core areas like mathematics, reading and science is falling below national and international benchmarks. At the same time, screen time keeps rising. More and more students are turning to YouTube, TikTok, and social media to learn, revise, or complete homework. But the quality of what they find is inconsistent. SuperCampus fills that gap, offering a safe, ad-free and curriculum-aligned alternative where learning is both rigorous and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each video is short (3 to 8 minutes) and follows multimedia learning principles. Think animations, illustrations, stop-motion and even rap songs to explain topics like chemistry or history. A charismatic music teacher uses the Champions League anthem to teach classical music; another uses cat memes to teach mathematics. The content is not just educational – it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

In its first year, SuperCampus has already produced over 1,000 videos and audio pieces, spanning 30 subjects and 10 academic levels, and has reached 5 million views. Most views happen during school hours, which indicates that teachers are using the platform directly in class. And since one video is often shown to a full classroom, the number of students reached is likely far greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SuperCampus is available at home via smart TVs, mobile apps and web browsers, and it\u2019s also distributed on YouTube and TikTok, where teens already spend time. The aim is not to ban screens, but to teach young people how to use them wisely and to turn passive scrolling into active learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a time when educational outcomes are under pressure and screen time is rising, SuperCampus offers a fresh solution: a public, teacher-led media platform designed to inspire, educate and empower students on their own terms. Public TV and public education, working together for the future of learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
