Solving the problem of how to be in three places at once, a solar powered science lab is bringing the latest technology to students in three campuses in Texas, USA.
The Rio Hondo Independent School District (RHISD) wanted to combine the excitement of having a dedicated technology laboratory in an interesting venue …and to be able to offer it to all their students – located across three campuses.
Their answer was to commission a 49 foot trailer – the expandable sides of which are packed with technology.
Providing learning for 24 – or more – students the mobile science lab has learning stations offering Augmented Reality headsets, 3D printers, there’s a 55 inch touch screen classroom display, a bank of audio-visual screens complete with surround sound – and an independent high speed mobile internet connection keeps it all streaming.
Oh, and as you might expect with the latest in lab innovation, the power to run all this technology (and the Air Conditioning system) comes from both real-time and battery-stored solar energy.
