About the project

The Go-Lab Project (Global Online Science Labs for Inquiry Learning at School) opens up remote science laboratories and their online models (online labs) for the large-scale use in education. Its technical framework – the Go-Lab Portal - offers students the opportunity to perform personalized scientific experiments with online labs, whereas teachers may enrich their classroom activities with demonstrations and disseminate best practices in a web-based pedagogic community.

Go-Lab creates an infrastructure (the Go-Lab Portal) to provide access to a set of online labs from worldwide renowned research organizations, such as European Space Agency (ESA, the Netherlands), European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN, Switzerland), Núcleo Interactivo de Astronomia (NUCLIO, Portugal), as well as multiple universities and institutions. Interested in using our labs and the Portal for your classes? Then join our Pilot activities!

What is the Go-Lab pilot about?

As one of the Go-Lab pilot schools, you will have the opportunity to use, implement, evaluate, or develop further lesson plans, educational scenarios or activities using online labs within the Go-Lab portal. The evaluation is easy: before and after your activities, you will be invited to fill in the appropriate questionnaires that will help us understand better the view of the Go-Lab user like teachers and students. By testing these scenarios, you can provide us with valuable feedback on their impact, how they can be used within the classroom, what adjustments we can make and what we can improve overall. This way you will be an active part of the Go-Lab project.
