The teaching website is very user-friendly for both students and teachers and compatible with the objectives stated in the official curriculum for social studies, sociology, science and environmental education.
The main objective of the teaching material is that it can be used to prepare students before going to the Exhibition and to give them the opportunity to continue working with the material when returning the classroom. Class visits are offered to all 10th grade students in the country and already have about 300 students been booked.
