Applying the scientific mind to teach it better

SEMIEL (Semaine d’Immersion à l’EPFL) is a new programme designed for all teachers of 7th and 8th year Harmos.

There are no prerequisites (you don’t have to be a maths or science teacher) to take part in this immersion week, which will take place during the second week of the October holidays.
