Sala do Futuro - Agrupamento de Escolas de Souselo

The Sala do Futuro is a learning lab for students at Grouping of Schools in Souselo, from pre-school up to the 9th grade. The lab is equipped with portable computers, an interactive monitor, mBot robotics kits and its accessories, individual desks and workgroups, ergonomic chairs and a dedicated internet network. Pupils can engage in individual or group work, online research, and also in learning robotics and programming with mBot. Soon, it will be possible to print in 3D.


Located inside the school, the space can be used by teachers according to the specificities of each class. Students' response to the lab has been extraordinarily positive, with levels of concentration and interest significantly higher than those observed during lectures in classic classroom setups.
