Quizlet is a free website providing learning tools for students, including flashcards, study and game modes; it provides engaging and customisable activities thanks to contributions from people everywhere. Both teachers and students can create new resources from scratch or edit those already included in the platform.

Teachers and students are able to create interactive assessment games for review. Teachers have the ability to start a ‘live’ game in class or assign for ‘homework’.

This is a great way to gamify the classroom and create healthy competition!

The initiative “Roberta® – Learning with robots“ takes young people into the digital world. In addition to innovative robot modular systems, experiments and target group-specific teaching materials, the initiative offers support and further training in order to establish technology education and the interest in STEM subjects in schools on a sustainable basis.
