In 2022, the European Commission launched its competition Expertiment for the Classroom. This competition asked teachers from across Europe to team up with leading researchers funded through the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions and co-create learning material based on cutting-edge research. Over 500 researchers and teachers took part, and more than 100 excellent proposals were submitted to our international jury.
After long deliberations, the jury selected the three best proposals. Escape the bio-lab was one of them. We hope you enjoy this creative and simply wonderful activity for your classroom.
Escape Room – can you escape from the bio lab?
A group of highschoolers are taken on a science tour to visit a biomedical engineering research centre. The students are shown around by one of the scientists, when all of a sudden there is a loud explosion!
The security alarm goes off and everyone rushes inside a lab. But then its doors close! You are trapped inside.
Do you have what it takes to get out again? You will need to puzzle, learn about cell biology, apply medical technology and unleash your inner biologists.
But hurry! The air is getting thin.
Join Marie Skłodowska Curie fellow Sahba Mobini and secondary school teacher Luis Cerrajero de la Cruz for this exciting escape game.
It combines topics that are high on the school curriculum (eucaryotic cells, cellular division, histology, and biotechnology) with cutting-edge research in the area of stem cells and regenerative medicine.
