2. On-site training (teachers and students)
3. Access to DistanceLab

Teaching and Learning material is also published on paper as a book in Estonian and English language.

As a part of the concept teachers and learners can access to VirtualLab and DistanceLab.

• Access on a licence-based payment
• Included - one account per HomeLab kit purchase
• Limited use time in hours

• Whole package for education (investments of teacher own time vs school money)
• Local support & training
• Industry close environment (learners are better prepared for working situations)
• Cutting edge e-learning facilities
• Easier to migrate another controller (programming environment and language is industry standard)

Logical sequence of learning robotics starting on early age would be Lego→Arduino→Robotic HomeLab (Arduino can be skipped)

• Designed specially for the education
• Reduces significantly teachers workload and preparation work
• Provides full cutting-edge e-learning functionality
• Free software
• Close to industrial environment

Robotic HomeLab kits are designed and manufactured in Estonia, ITT Group.
