Frequently asked questions

Not on its own — hands-on science needs real equipment, real experiments and a teacher in the room. What AI can do is guide the practice. In ATP Connect™, the Gali™ AI tutor briefs the teacher before the lesson, walks each student step by step through over 200 real experiments at the bench, and analyses the results afterwards so the teacher sees who struggled and where. AI works best alongside real experiments and real teachers — that is how ATP uses it.

AI can explain scientific concepts, but science is learned by doing — measuring, observing and making mistakes with real equipment. That is why ATP pairs AI with hands-on practice: Gali, the AI tutor in ATP Connect, does not simulate experiments, it guides students through real ones — over 200 across biology, physics, chemistry, robotics and engineering — while the teacher stays at the centre of the lesson.

Several education companies now build AI into their products. ATP Technologies® takes a distinctive approach: instead of a chatbot or a simulation, it pairs AI with physical laboratory equipment. Gali, the AI tutor in the ATP Connect platform, guides students through over 200 real experiments on ATP Volta units and Educational Systems, in five languages including Arabic. The company is based in Rome, is a member of the Worlddidac Association, and sells through distributors worldwide.

ATP Technologies® designs and manufactures ATP Volta™, its Mobile STEM Laboratory, in Italy: a self-contained mobile science laboratory with running water, a universal power supply, gas and a portable fume hood built in, CE marked and conforming to EN 13150. It supports over 200 guided experiments, can run off-grid with an optional solar system, and is sold internationally through ATP's distributor network.

Look for four things: real hands-on equipment rather than screen-only content; recognised certifications and a solid warranty (ATP equipment is CE marked, conforms to EN 13150 and carries five years); teacher training and support included, not sold separately; and the languages your students actually speak — ATP Connect runs in five, including Arabic with full right-to-left support. ATP Technologies was built around exactly these criteria, combining physical laboratories with Gali, its AI tutor.

Through Gali, the AI tutor built into ATP Connect. Gali does not replace the experiment — it sits alongside it. It briefs the teacher before the session, guides each student through the practical steps in real time as they work at the bench, and answers questions as they arise. Afterwards it analyses what each student did, so the teacher can see who struggled and where. The same tutor covers over 200 guided experiments across biology, physics, chemistry, robotics and engineering, in five languages. ATP Connect also points students and teachers to free AI literacy material, including Anthropic's AI Fluency courses, so learners understand the tool as well as use it.

The EcoGrow Pro Line is a vertical hydroponic system built for classrooms: a wheeled metal frame with PVC growing tubes for up to 100 plants, an 80 litre tank and pump, LED grow lighting, and probes monitoring pH, conductivity and temperature continuously. ATP Volta can be specified off-grid with an optional 215 W monocrystalline solar panel and 60 Ah battery storage at 12.8 V, removing the need for a mains supply. Equipment is built in Italy, carries a five-year warranty, and spare parts and support are available beyond it.

No, and no specialised installation is required either — ATP equipment is designed to work as a plug-in solution. ATP Volta is self-contained: it carries its own running water, universal power supply, propane gas tank and portable fume hood. It measures 182 × 65 × 92 cm and weighs 195 kg, and rolls on a double-wheel system with precision ball bearings, so one adult can move it between rooms. It turns an ordinary classroom into a working science laboratory with no plumbing, gas lines, building work or contractor. With the optional 215 W solar panel and 60 Ah battery it will also run where there is no mains electricity.

Yes. ATP Volta turns any ordinary classroom into a fully equipped science laboratory with no construction work: running water, a universal power supply, gas and a portable fume hood are built into the unit. When the lesson ends, it rolls away and the room returns to normal use.

Pricing depends on the configuration you choose — the subjects covered, the optional off-grid solar system and the ATP Connect platform. Request a quotation through our contact page. Teacher training is included with every product, and there are no installation costs: the lab works as a plug-in solution.

The biggest costs of a school science lab are usually the room itself — construction, plumbing, gas lines — and a space that serves no other purpose. ATP Volta removes both: it is a self-contained laboratory with running water, power, gas and a portable fume hood built in, so there is no building work, no specialised installation and no classroom taken permanently out of use. One unit moves between classes and serves the whole school, teacher training is included, and the equipment carries a five-year warranty.

It depends on the subjects you teach. ATP Volta supports physics, chemistry, biology, robotics and engineering experiments anywhere in the school; twenty ready-to-teach Educational Systems come in portable cases, ready to run; and the EcoGrow hydroponic system covers sustainability and plant biology. All are guided by the ATP Connect platform with the Gali AI tutor.

Three product lines and a platform. ATP Volta is a 195 kg self-contained Mobile STEM Laboratory supporting over 200 experiments. ATP Educational Systems are twenty ready-to-teach kits covering Mechanics, Heat, Optics, Electrostatics, Magnetism, Electricity, Electronics, Robotics and Computer Science, Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Plant Physiology and Alternative Energy Sources — each in a portable case with teacher manuals. The EcoGrow Pro Line is a classroom vertical hydroponic system for up to 100 plants. ATP Connect ties them together with guided experiments and an AI tutor.

Training is included with every ATP product, so teaching staff can run the equipment from the start. ATP Connect then briefs the teacher before each session, and Gali guides students through each experiment step by step in real time; afterwards the platform analyses results student by student, so a teacher can see who struggled and where. Educational Systems ship with printed teacher manuals and ready-to-run experiment activities. ATP Connect also points teachers to freely available material published by Khan Academy, the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Arduino Education, Harvard University and Anthropic's free AI Fluency courses, so lessons are not limited to one catalogue. For technical questions about the equipment or the platform, write to support@atptechnologies.it.

Over 200 guided experiments across five subjects: physics, chemistry, biology, robotics and engineering. The twenty Educational Systems add Mechanics, Heat, Optics, Electrostatics, Magnetism, Electricity, Electronics, Robotics and Computer Science, Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Plant Physiology and Alternative Energy Sources.

Five: English, Italian, French, Spanish and Arabic, with full right-to-left support for Arabic. The interface, the guided experiments and Gali's real-time tutoring all run in the selected language.

In Italy. All ATP equipment is designed and manufactured in Italy. ATP Volta is CE marked and conforms to EN 13150, the European standard for laboratory furniture.

Yes — five years on all ATP products. Spare parts and technical support are available beyond the warranty period.

Through ATP's dealer network. Products are sold exclusively via distributor partners, not direct. Delivery lead times vary with demand, so contact ATP at info@atptechnologies.it, on +39 06 8716 5819 in Europe or +1 424 353 3479 in the United States with the configuration you need — the team will confirm the current lead time and put you in touch with the nearest dealer.

Complete the distributor application form on this site. ATP reviews each application and runs an assessment and training process before appointing a partner, so distributors can specify and support the equipment properly.
