What is ?
EU LLP-Comenius project in BE, EE, GR, CH
Linking schools to high-tech research
and entrepreneurship
Target:
last 2 years secondary school
general - technical

Philosophy
Fundamental research:QUANTUM PHYSICS
Applied research: (NANO)TECHNOLOGY
High-tech entrepreneurship:INNOVATION
![Page 4: Laura Tamassia: Quantum Spin-Off](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b37901a28abfc3e8b4569/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why ?
Our drive:The school should create space and time
for young people
to become interested in the world around them
High-tech research and entrepreneurship
strongly present in Europe
Science E-DUCATION

How?
• Every class coupled to a researcher
• Scientific paper
• Quantum physics, experiments
• Visit research lab and (spinoff) company
• Basics of entrepreneurship (business model canvas)
• Students think socially useful and responsibleapplication or service (‘start’ spinoff)
• Contest: Quantum Spin-Off Prize
![Page 7: Laura Tamassia: Quantum Spin-Off](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b37901a28abfc3e8b4569/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Role of the teacher in
Absolutely crucial!!!
• Researcher meets students ‘only’ 4 times
• Most of the work in the classroom with teacher
(quantum physics, brainstorming, preparing the talk, discussing the experience... )
Teaching, stimulating, coaching, supporting, ...

Examples of topics
• STM/AFM
• Organic solar panels
• Foldable electronics
• Graphene
• CT-scan, MRI
• Li-ion batteries
• Infrared cameras
• Quantum optics ...
According to the LOCAL nanolab and researcher

Pedagogical choices
“It’s too difficult!”
Authentic material and people: scientific papers, interaction with researcher…
In this project: Maximize the exposure, the experience.
They will surprise you!!!
