Created by researchers, BiOutils is an interface that aims to promote and support the study of biology in schools. The platform provides schools with protocols, material and know-how to perform modern and engaging experiments in class, with activities ranging from ecology to modern molecular biology.
Its innovative edge, compared to other structures that offer educational activities in the field of science, is the fact that the platform is fully integrated in a university research group. Therefore, experimental methods and material provided are always up-to-date with the latest technological and scientific advances.
