Project Manager of the Teaching Facility of the Future
The Teaching Facility of the Future - abbreviated FUF - takes serious questions into consideration: how will classrooms look in the future? How can digital technology be integrated in the education system? How do children learn most? These are but some of the questions FUF is trying to unravel.
The project aims at contributing to the development of new learning environments for nature and technics and to overcome the gap between formal and informal learning environments. The objective is to promote the improvement of the teaching level and methods used in the science sucjects. FUF therefore intends to develop a new educational concept for teaching methods prompting creativity in natural science subjects.
With support from the Ministry of Education and the Egmont Foundation the Universe Foundation is in charge of this project.
