A Complete Solution
edgeLAB brings an “All-in-One” EdTech philosophy through an online open-tech lab program (with a complete curriculum) blended with the physical portable lab-toolbox that includes all the hardware components and 3D printed parts needed for the automation system scenarios.
Thus, edgeLAB is truly a complete Microelectronic and Automation System solution!
What is edgeLAB?
edgeLAB… a Lab at the edge.
This solution converts the local space of any learner to a cost-effective, state-of-the-art open-tech laboratory and 3D printing workspace.
State-of-the-Art Inspired Scenarios
The program introduces advanced open-tech lab concepts from microelectronics and automation systems through ICT scenarios inspired by real-world, state-of-the-art tech applications presented in daily life.
A complete and fully structured laboratory program
No need for external additional educational material. The toolbox contains:
- The necessary open-source hardware components for integrating all scenarios described in the program.
- The 3D-printed parts for constructing the crafts that render each program’s scenario fully functional.
Why edgeLAB?
The innovation and simultaneously the key differentiator of this training program is the introduction of a wide age range of new entrant learners to open-source electronics and automation systems through scenarios inspired by real-world, state-of-the-art tech applications presented in daily life, blended with inventive 3D-printed crafts.
A thematic project-based approach promotes the acquisition of scientific knowledge, hands-on experience, and engineering qualifications relevant in today’s world, ideal for first-time engaged learners at any education level.
‘Lab-training in open techs’ for any learner at any time and place, without the need for access to special and costly equipment (e.g., 3D printers), even when in-person learning isn’t a choice.
