MobiNet is an innovative educational platform designed to enhance the understanding of computer science, math, and physics among high school students. Created as part of the Engineering Week at INPG, MobiNet utilizes interactive simulation software to help students experience theoretical concepts in practice. Through engaging tutorials, students collaborate in teams to solve engineering problems, develop intuition, and visualize complex scientific principles. With a focus on accessibility and ease of use, MobiNet aims to cultivate a new generation of skilled professionals and foster interest in STEM fields.

MobiNet A Pedagogic Platform for Computer Science, Maths and Physics Sylvain Lefebvre, Fabrice Neyret, Samuel Hornus, Joëlle Thollot GRAVIR / IMAG-INRIA
History (since 2002) • Bi-annual ‘Engineering Week’ of INPG • Less students choose science • Public : highschool students (~15 years old) • Goal : discover research and engineering • How : 1 week of tutorials • MobiNet Tutorials • GRAVIR / IMAG-INRIA
Mobinet: Interactive simulation software • Put theory into practice • develop intuition • introduce scientific, engineering approach • Try, understand and learn • accessible, easy to use • no fear of making mistakes • Develop team work • networked simulation space
MobiNet approach • Experience notions, visually !
MobiNet approach • Model of real world • Object’s state variables (x) mathematical model • Object’s motion (x : x+1) physical model of behavior • Nothing magic ! x : x+1 x
