The center

Low-cost, high-tech: the LabPi digital measuring station is being developed at our TTZ for use in schools, student laboratories, university teaching and research.
The combination of a powerful platform with precise sensors and innovative technology opens up new teaching and learning opportunities for STEM 4.0 lessons.
Numerous sensors are available for LabPi, which offer new possibilities for quantitative data acquisition and can be used in all STEM subjects.

Wireless networking of the devices with each other and with the cloud makes it possible to combine the measured values of several learning groups at the touch of a finger.
Test results can thus be discussed faster and better, leaving more real learning time.

At the center, we offer measuring stations for use in schools, student laboratories, research centers and universities.
We also provide direct training, support and teaching materials as well as teaching/learning concepts to help you get started.

LabPi can also be used profitably for research – thanks to the possibility of combining various sensors and archiving in the cloud, test series can be greatly accelerated through parallelization.
