ACTIVE LEARNING

Students in any fields of science are asked to participate in our artistic/scientific program as ISAC Talk which follows an Active Learning by Innovation in Teaching (ALIT) model ( Izadi D.; Bolotin M.M., 2014 ). This collaboration between teachers and students requires connecting knowledge and imagination to find different approaches in solving problems.
