Educational Concept — Letovo School
The BioLab is an innovative school laboratory project where children explore modern approaches to studying and growing agricultural crops using digital technologies and acquire biotechnologist skills. The project was co-developed with Letovo School and PIK, in partnership with the IT-Polygon project.
Digital technologies offer vast possibilities for biological education. When teaching children, these tools are particularly valuable for fostering immersion and engagement through interactive interaction with studied subjects, especially in project-based learning.
VR and AR technologies in education have transformative potential. VR provides immersive educational experiences, making abstract concepts tangible through simulations and historical exploration. AR enhances real-world learning with interactive overlays.

The lab includes a programmable seed germination chamber and digital microscopes aimed at sprouting plants display images on monitors and record data. A virtual lab with VR equipment allows realistic simulation of biological processes that are usually invisible.
The project’s rich technical infrastructure brings the lab to life, sparking children's interest in research projects that foster subject knowledge as well as project-based thinking and independent work skills.
