Iran-Made Mobile Table Laboratory Suitable for Small, Village Schools
“The goal of making a mobile table laboratory is education with an emphasis on experience. This mobile table laboratory is a small and portable table that provides a space like a classroom for the students,” Mostafa Rahvar, a faculty member of university and the managing-director of the company, told ANA.
“This table laboratory is used in schools where students do not have the possibility to use the laboratory or in rural schools,” he added.
Noting that the creative product has been patented inside Iran, Rahvar said, “The mobile table laboratory provides a safe and personal space for the student to do scientific, practical and laboratory work and has other applications, including a desk and a library.”
In a relevant development in December, a faculty member of Islamic Azad University’s Damavand branch announced that specialists at a technological startup had developed interactive simulators and virtual labs for the Iranian high school students.
“Faramouz Hendeseh startup stationed at the incubator center of our university is an active and leading startup in the field of new educational technologies,” Mohammad Ali Sotoudeh, a faculty member of the Civil Engineering Department of Islamic Azad University’s Damavand branch, told ANA.
“This startup has put on agenda the production of various educational programs interactively and on the web with modern technologies and the main product of the startup is Azto web-based platform and a provider of interactive simulators and virtual labs for secondary school students,” he added.
Registration of an educational institute for geometry training, preparation and compilation of educational content on the web, development of interactive simulators and virtual laboratories, obtaining approvals from the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy and the Ministry of Education, developing virtual reality simulators, and providing services to students in disadvantaged areas and schools in Tehran are among the activities of this technological startup, Sotoudeh said.
