Drought, overheated cities, vanishing green spaces – these aren’t just headlines; they’re the new everyday reality.
Our project shows students in primary and secondary schools how buildings and other human activities impact the environment – and empowers them to find their own solutions.
What
- experiments in the classroom
- exterior measurements in your area
- creation of a proposal to improve the microclimate
- set of tools for experiments
- support from experts from the NTC UWB in Pilsen
How
Student projects can be carried out:
- in long term (3-5 months)
- intensively within dedicated project days
- during summer camps
Why
From learning basic science connections in a local context, children will move towards:
- social aspects in the environment
- active citizenship
- global dimension
What is included
- 5 thematic modules for up to 5 months of teaching
- Interactive activities, measurements, experiments, and real-world outputs for the school environment
- Worksheets, tutorials, videos, Designs for research tasks
- Methodological support for teachers (curriculum, solutions, tips)
- Loan of five measuring instruments and a number of tools for carrying out experiments
- Online application for sorting and evaluating measured data + access to storage for uploading and processing thermograms
- Access to LabIR Edu e-learning course
- 5 hours of consultancy and guidance
Tools
- The basic tool is a TIMI Edu infrared camera designed specifically for teaching purposes.
