Under the motto "Inspiring Enthusiasts", the MIT Club of Germany organized the nationwide professional development course "School with Science" as a hybrid event for science and technology teachers. Among the speakers was XLAB lecturer Dr. Erhard Irmer with his online workshop on the topic: Using light to learn the basic concepts of chemistry.
