The ceremony took place on 8 September 2006 with the mayor of Isernhagen, representatives from the commune and the developers. The web experiment was made possible using Remote Controlled Laboratories (RCL) developed by the University of Kaiserslautern and INTEL. These RCL are at the core of Xplora's web experiments. During the session, Karl Sarnow, Xplora portal manager, explained how Xplora is working as part of the PENCIL project, funded by the European Commission and operated by European Schoolnet (EUN). This web experiment “Photo effect” is the modern variant of the experimental breakthrough in quantum theory, first interpreted by Albert Einstein. “We are delivering today the first web experiment ever for a school from the developers of the University of Kaiserslautern” announced INTEL education manager Thomas Osburg. The importance of a web experiment lies in its usability, safety and reproducibility of sometimes very complex functions. “I do realize now the importance of such a web experiment, and I understand all its applications. I appreciate very much the foreseeable advantages of having such a tool in this school” declared Elke D. Wolff, the headmistress of Gymnasium Isernhagen.
