Dissemination of Borderless Lab365 platform to secondary and primary students

Service Operator

Department of Applied Physics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Project Number
2021/1058

Objectives

  • To assemble BL365 platform in secondary/primary schools
  • To organize STEAM Enrichment programme for secondary/primary school students
  • To motivate students’ interests in science studies

Project Overview

This project offers two platforms: Utilizing IoT technology, BL365 allows students independently conduct real-time hands-on experiments anytime/anywhere. Through remote-access via internet, students can operate setups in a way similar to running the experiments in school laboratories. Various L&T modes (such as flipped-classroom, inquired-based learning, etc) can be adopted by teachers, enabling student-centered learning. Our BL365 has been successfully implanted in more than 40 secondary schools. STEAM enrichment Programme (SEP) allows students performing experiments outside school laboratories using smartphone and Arduino-based sensors. This dramatically increases the potential experiments and even permits project-type experiments in many science subjects.
