Immersive and Interactive Labs
Make phenomena, places, and relationships that are hard to observe in a conventional lesson available for exploration.
01 / The Solution
The structure of an organism, the change of a landscape over centuries, the relationships among objects in a historic space: some things are hard to see on a page or a slide, and harder still to discuss.
Immersive and Interactive Labs bring them into a space students can walk into, without headsets: projected walls, immersive rooms, totems, and interactive tables, with conversational characters that can be questioned. Interaction matters when it helps learners observe, ask questions, and discuss what is happening. Spatial arrangement, content pace, and activities are designed with teachers and subject experts; the space guides attention, and analysis and discussion continue after the experience.
Delivered in the school’s own spaces, in partner museums and science centers, or in e-REAL immersive rooms. Subject, space, devices, group size, duration, accessibility, and the activities before and after the lab are set with the school and its scientific partners.
02 / How It Works
01
Choose what matters
Identify a concept, a process, or a place where scale, space, or movement aids understanding: the human body, an ecosystem, a historic site, a scientific setting.
02
Explore together
Students and teachers observe, interact, question characters and objects, discuss hypotheses, and connect the experience with the sources.
03
Work through it
Compare observations and explanations, and return to the steps that need more evidence. Three things to observe: orientation in the space, collaboration and discussion, ability to explain after the experience.
04
Natural sciences in an interactive space
At the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences in Turin, projections, reconstructions, and interactions let visitors explore ecosystems and question historical figures. Classroom use calls for objectives and activities designed with educators.
