It is not a simulation. It is not an academic exercise. It is professional practice on technology that is already operating in companies.
You don't come here to see how MasterBase® tools and services work; you come to build with them.
From the outset, the challenge is clear: design, configure and present a functional automated solution. Something that can be explained, demonstrated and evolved. Something that makes sense outside the classroom.
And that completely changes the way you learn.
Learning by doing, but seriously
The model combines autonomous learning, technical workshops, tutoring, mentoring and live Labs. Its focus is not instruction; it is creation.
From the first weeks, you work directly on the MasterBase® platform, facing real problems of design, process logic and technical configuration.
While developing an employee, data and contract management platform, Yu Ruey Chang, a student of Civil Engineering in Computer Science and Informatics at the Universidad Federico Santa María, summarizes his experience as follows:
“Participating in this program strengthened my adaptive skills, learning to solve different problems using the tools provided by MasterBase®, which were significantly different from what I was used to.”.
And therein lies one of the great invisible learnings: adapting to new logics, getting out of your comfort zone and understanding how to solve automation needs through tools that allow you to do what you need to do, in many different ways.
Beyond configuring fields or flows, here you learn to think of solutions.
From theory to working solution
Many students arrive with technical knowledge, others with more management-oriented training; but all go through the same process: transforming a concrete problem into an operational automated solution.
Javier Reyes Núñez, a commercial engineering student at Universidad Santo Tomás, works on a solution for monitoring vehicle repairs and quotations. His testimony is clear:
“From the beginning I have been able to learn about task automation, always with the support of a great team. My solution allowed me to make day-to-day work compatible with programming and understand how to respond to needs as they arise along the way.”
That understanding is key, because when you automate real processes - tracking, alerts, validations, notifications - you stop seeing technology as something abstract. You start to see it as a concrete tool for productivity and efficiency.
And that changes your professional judgment.
Automation as a language
The solutions conceived by Generation 4.0 range from business automation to back-office, digital services for end customers and corporate control tools.
Nicolas Ricciardi, a student of Computer Engineering at the Universidad de Concepción, is designing a solution to control expiration dates and corporate alerts. His focus has been precise:
“I have learned how to transform manual operational flows into autonomous and scalable systems within the MasterBase® platform. I achieved automation that mitigates risk from human error and significantly optimizes time management.”
When you understand automation as a language, you start to see opportunities everywhere.
A manual process ceases to be a routine and becomes a possibility for improvement.
You don't need to be an expert programmer
One of the most recurrent lessons learned in this version of the program has been to debunk myths.
A concrete example of this is Felipe Crisóstomo, a student of Civil Informatics Engineering at the Universidad del Bío Bío, Chillán, who is developing SmartTECDIS, a solution to optimize technical services of electronic devices. He points out:
“In MasterBase® I understood that it is not necessary to be an expert in programming to innovate and materialize our ideas. This program was the space where my proposal came to life.”
This is one of the program's distinctive features: it democratizes the creation of business solutions.
Constanza Córdova, a student of Civil Engineering in Computer Science and Telecommunications at the Universidad Diego Portales, who configures SmartShift (intelligent shift management), also confirms this:
“I discovered the basis of automation through different methodologies and had the opportunity to develop my own idea, interacting directly with the platform.”
This is not about memorizing commands. It is about understanding processes.
And when that idea is connected to a real problem - one that is still solved with paper, scattered spreadsheets or incomplete records - the motivation changes radically.
This is what happened to Arline Mitchell Morales, a student of Civil Informatics Engineering at the Universidad del Bío-Bío, Concepción, while configuring a solution called Management of Veterinary Clinical Records.
In her case, the starting point was as everyday as it was critical: paper cards that get lost, duplicated or incomplete. And the learning, she says, was to see how MasterBase® allows you to turn that reality into a purposeful digital solution:
“I learned how to use MasterBase® tools to transform a real problem - such as the management of paper veterinary records - into a digital solution proposal like VetData, which is automatic, secure and really useful. I was able to see up close the design of data flows and the logic of alerts, and I understood that technology serves its purpose when it truly makes people's lives easier.”
Build with real users in mind
Matías Maureira, a student of Civil Engineering in Computer Science and Telecommunications at Universidad Diego Portales, Campus Santiago, works in a project manager for freelancers. His apprenticeship was:
“I understood that low-code development has a tangible impact on solving everyday problems. The experience underscored the importance of autonomy in learning.”
And this can be seen in solutions such as MasterAdmin, oriented to real estate brokers, designed by Felipe Molina, I am a student of the Programmer Analyst career at DUOC UC, Puente Alto campus.
During his configuration, he delved into:
- Relational database design with SmartData from MasterBase®.
- Creation of dynamic forms
- Automation using JSON
- Automatic PDF document generation and email notifications
- Scalable architectures for different real estate models
His thinking is compelling: Automating is more than technical efficiency; it is thinking about the end-user experience and simplifying complex processes.
From creator to Flex Partner Creator
But the program does not end with training.
For the more visionary, there is an additional possibility: becoming a Flex Partner Creator.
What does this mean?
That you can publish your solution within the MasterBase® ecosystem, allowing companies of different sizes, from any industry and from different latitudes, to learn about it, evaluate it and, eventually, adopt it.
You're not creating just to pass a program; you're creating for the real market.
This opens the door to:
- Transform your solution into a business asset.
- Develop your own business based on automation.
- Position yourself as a creator specialized in a specific functional area.
- Offer reusable and scalable solutions, without depending on customized developments.
In an environment where companies are looking for efficiency, control and automation, having the ability to design and publish solutions in MasterBase® puts you at the next level.
You are hardly a user.
You are a builder.
86 solutions. 86 evolving criteria.
The most powerful thing about this Generation 4.0 is not the number itself. It's what it represents: 86 people tackling real problems and solving them with applied technology.
Each project involves:
- Clearly define a problem.
- Design the data structure.
- Set up automated flows.
- Document technical decisions.
- Validate its operation.
- Defend the solution against a peer review.
More than technical skills, this project builds judgment.
You learn to explain why you designed something a certain way.
You learn to justify decisions.
You learn to iterate when something doesn't work as you expected.
And that is real vocational training.
A generation that is already building
Generation 4.0 of the MasterBase® Maker Program is not learning about the future. They are building it.
It is understanding that automation is not a trend, it is operational language.
That technology is not an end, it is a means to solve concrete problems.
And that creating real solutions can become a tangible professional - and even business - opportunity.
Today, 86 solutions are under development.
Tomorrow there may be hundreds.
It is not the number that is relevant.
It is the ability to transform ideas into working solutions.
And you, if you decide to be here, you don't come to observe. You come to create.
