PBLabs Spaces
Project-based education thrives in teaching environments that foster collaboration, creativity, and hands-on experimentation. To address these needs, PBLabs has developed two specialised spaces for project-based teaching formats. These spaces offer flexible solutions for a variety of settings, ranging from dynamic group work to interactive plenaries. Additionally, PBLabs RZ and PBLabs HIT are designed to function as laboratories and testbeds for future learning environments at ETH Zürich.
