Educators

Our educators guide the groups through FLiP. As the driving force behind the action, they pull the red thread through the sequence of stations, handle the necessary technical equipment, activate the necessary elements, explain the process and summarize the results of the “learning trail”.

Wallet

A the beginning of the tour, each member of the group receives a tablet, the so-called Wallet. Throughout the tour, visitors will need it to solve tasks at the learning stations. The Wallet connects the visitors with the FLiP and the educators in a unique way.
