Educational Lab

We want to inspire people for science and research, awaken a spirit of invention and a desire for new things and enable the creation of innovative educational concepts.

The Educational Lab is an open research laboratory that offers people of all ages a unique environment for innovative learning and experimentation. This benefits not only pupils and kindergartens, but also students, teachers, people interested in further education and organizations.

Lakeside Park promotes and supports innovative educational initiatives as well as new forms of education and training for all levels of education – from primary and secondary education to tertiary education. The necessary premises are made available to the Educational Lab free of charge.

The laboratories are well equipped to ensure that chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and technology are not just abstract formulas and phenomena, but become tangible. Here, scientific theories, economic and socio-political processes and technical achievements are explored in a playful and experimental way and the Educational Lab itself is continuously developed.

As the lead partner of the STEM region of central Carinthia, we strive to create a vibrant and inspiring environment. Our aim is to appeal to people of all ages who are interested in discovering, experiencing and promoting «Sustainable MINT».

As part of the FFG-funded project Educational Innovation Lab for Sustainable MINT (EIL4MINT), we support and accompany educational innovators in the development, organization, testing, documentation and dissemination of their new educational approaches.

The extracurricular activities offered by the independent labs cover the following subject areas: STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), innovation, entrepreneurship, gender equality, language and culture.

The labs in the Educational Lab are independently operating educational initiatives with different programs and varied activities. Here is an overview.
