Laboratory is an important learning facility in schools. It is the place where students work on their scientific experiment to proof what they have learned in theory and do  innovative things that sharpen their creativity.

Realizing the importance of school laboratories, on June 27, 2013, we has conducted another workshop on "Laboratory Management for Junior and Senior High School Level Teachers and Laboratory Assistant". This activity was held at Pudak Scientific Training Laboratory Room - Gedebage, Bandung. The subject was presented by Dra.
