hands-on lab
Interactive science session
A hands-on lab is a learning environment where participants work directly with materials, equipment, or software rather than just reading or listening.
Common in science education, technical training, and professional development, it emphasizes practical experience: The coding bootcamp includes hands-on labs where you build real applications.
The term distinguishes active engagement from lecture-based instruction.
