Dubai, 10.12.2014
Polytech proudly presented the remarkable results of our PCB 301 mobile science laboratory at the International Conference ICL 2014, held from December 3rd to 6th at the Exhibition Gate in Dubai. This prestigious event provided an excellent platform for showcasing the innovative educational tools and research advancements that Polytech, in collaboration with the University of Thessaly’s Special Education Department, has been working on.
Research Collaboration with University of Thessaly
The PCB 301 mobile laboratory has been at the heart of an intensive research project conducted at the University of Thessaly. This project aimed to explore the effectiveness of hands-on learning through a series of carefully designed experiments. Students engaged with the PCB 301 mobile lab, performing various scientific experiments that bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
