Future Classroom Laboratory opens in Izmir

The Future Classroom Laboratory (FCL) has been inaugurated at the 100. Yıl Middle School in Aliağa, Izmir. Developed by the European Schoolnet, the FCL model redesigns traditional classroom layouts into specialized areas for research, production, presentation, and collaboration.

The laboratory is part of the Izmir Provincial Directorate of National Education’s Erasmus+ KA121 2026 project. Under this initiative, 10 students and 4 teachers are scheduled to travel to Spain. During demonstrations, educators showed how students use 3D printers to model landmarks and utilize 360-degree imagery for interactive learning.

Local officials, including Aliağa District Governor Zekeriya Güney and Aliağa Mayor Serkan Acar, attended the opening ceremony to support the project's focus on flexible and inclusive learning environments.
