I'm an engineer at Pedago, and work on a product called Smartly (https://smart.ly https://smart.ly).
Although the target audience differs a bit, Papert's work was the philosophical bedrock for the work we're doing. In fact, when the company was founded, it was agreed upon that it'd be best for all employees to read Mindstorms: Children, Computers, And Powerful Ideas. If you haven't read this book, and you are even the slightest bit interested in education and how we construct mental models, it's definitely worth the read.
I only hope he would have approved of what we've tried to build!
RIP, Seymour Papert.
