Photon is a Polish project of technology in education. It supports many educators in changing the way they work with their pupils. It all started with the passion of four students and one professor at the Bialystok University of Technology, who created an unique robot. Today they call him a teacher’s assistant<\/i>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

What’s new with Photon?<\/h2>\n

Late last year, Photon’s range of educational robots expanded. The bigger the bunch, the merrier. Project which supports educators in changing the way they work with students, has been widened with sets and modules that are truly unique.<\/p>\n

The new Photon is related to a concept known as inclusive education (inclusion, pol. edukacja w\u0142\u0105czaj\u0105ca<\/i>). What is it?<\/p>\n
