Project innovation

The project innovation comes to describe an educational formula which will be applied both into digital and face to face environment aiming to integrate special needs kids with typical children in real life and learning environment. The new educational method proposed by project it is named "game-storified laboratory" and will be tested during the project activities. Each such activity consists in a sequence of story, followed by an experiential laboratory and then continued with the story. The experiments will be gamified through giving scores and other gamifications elements. The main educational components of the methods are below:

Gamification
Gamification in learning is the use of game elements, like points, levels, badges, and challenges, to make educational experiences more engaging, motivating, and interactive. It aims to increase learners' interest and improve retention by incorporating fun, reward-based elements into educational activities
Storytelling
Educational storytelling is the use of narrative techniques to teach concepts, ideas, or skills. By embedding information within a story, it helps learners connect emotionally with the content, making complex ideas more relatable, memorable, and engaging.
Laboratory
A laboratory is a controlled setting equipped for scientific research, experiments, and testing. It provides tools, equipment, and conditions necessary for conducting investigations and analyzing data. The aim of a laboratory is to foster discovery, validate theories, and develop practical applications of scientific principles.
