Why it works?
Easy-to-Source Materials
Conduct practical experiments in class without expensive equipment – everything in the suitcase uses readily available items.
Focus on Wood
Brings attention to wood as a sustainable resource – a topic often overlooked in school programs but crucial for Latvia’s economy.
Learn by Doing
Supports competency-based education and project-based learning. Every student gets actively involved.
