The Education Center conducts classes in five well-equipped rooms, at the nearby marina, and at the exhibition of the Gdynia Aquarium. During the classes, we use specimens collected over decades of work by scientists from MIR-PIB.
Biological Laboratory
The room is designed for conducting laboratory and research classes for groups of up to 25 people. It is equipped with laboratory furniture, stereoscopic microscopes, laboratory glassware, sampling devices for workshop participants, as well as multimedia equipment that enables teaching using the latest image presentation techniques. Additionally, there is a visualizer that allows observing organisms on a large screen.
Multimedia Marine Ecology Room
The room is equipped with high-quality multimedia equipment. In this space, classic laboratory classes take place, utilizing binoculars, for students from grades V to VIII of primary and secondary schools. During the classes, young researchers engage with topics related to the broader field of aquatic and terrestrial environmental ecology. The room is designed for groups of up to 25 people.
Płetwusiowo (“Finsville“)
This room is designed for environmental education of preschool and early primary school children. It is equipped with tools necessary for conducting interactive learning sessions, enabling the engagement of young ones in the underwater world. In this colorful room filled with plush marine animals, imaginative activities are carried out to captivate the minds of our youngest visitors. “Płetwusiowo” accommodates a maximum of 25 children.
