We have a concern that there are many teachers who still have difficulties in using educational aids in schools. Therefore, we are hoping that our training road-show program will help them in improving their knowledge on educational aids usage in school.
Through “Pudak Cinta Guru” (Pudak Loves Teacher) movement, Pudak Scienctific was once again organized a laboratory management training that was held upon the collaboration of Pudak Scientific and the MGMP Guru IPA (The Forum of School Subject Teachers of Science Teachers). This training was held on Saturday, April 5, 2015 at SMP Negeri 176 Jakarta, Jl. Duri Kosambi, Cengkareng, West Jakarta and was attended by 38 teachers, members of MGMP Guru IPA of West Jakarta.

- balance usage

Participants were very enthusiastic in following each stage of this training that end at 17.00 WIB and it was closed by photo session of all participants and Pudak Scientific team.
