Description
Traditional hands-on lab projects provide valuable learning opportunities but are often constrained by limited lab space, staff availability, and equipment constraints. Additionally, students with social anxiety, neurodiversity, or disabilities may face challenges in traditional lab settings. This work presents a novel approach to addressing these issues through the development of a digital twin—a simulated replica of physical lab hardware—integrated into an interactive course manual (Jupyter book). This open educational resource enables students to refine, test, and optimize their projects in a virtual environment before transitioning to physical labs, enhancing accessibility, scalability, and overall learning outcomes.
