For a few years now, BBA INSEEC has been working alongside several other partners such as UCL, UPV/EHU, Lab University of Applied Sciences, H&N services and O&D from INSEEC U. on a European project called E-REACKT. E-REACKT stands for E-learning Revision Activity and Collaborative Knowledge Teaching. The aim is...
Mathematics has become a “trendy” science in this pandemic period because people finally realised how mathematical models are useful for understanding reality and helping to prevent difficult situations. By now, we are all used to hearing expressions like “exponential growth”, “Rt factor”, “peak of infections”: all these concepts used...
Civics is interdisciplinary teaching in many European countries. During the pandemic, some European Math teachers realised that it was important for their students to work remotely in groups with peers at a time when they often could not attend face-to-face classes because they were confined at home or, if...

What kind of technology do we need in the classroom? Imagine a digital tool that helps pupils and students master scientific experimentation, not virtually, but by observing the world around them.Imagine a scientific instrument that allows students to make accurate measurements on sound, movement, position, light or color. An...
What is a Virtual Science Camp? Virtual Science Camps are free online science lessons, open to anyone in the world. Hosted by Michael Gregory in Paris, France, and joined by guest hosts from around the world. Why? Virtual Science Camps were started during the COVID-19 pandemic as an invitation...
One of the most common tools of contemporary education in the world is student-centered activities that enable students to question and think analytically. For this reason, scientific studies on student-centered activities have an important role in increasing the quality of education. Our project aims to increase students’ interest in...
