This work aims to update the activities of a teacher through the modern technology of educational travel of school children. It also means analyzing the potential opportunities of the technology in organizing school research work and school projects, characterized by full immersion of school children. Educational travel is a carefully planned combination of tours, site visits and hands-on learning opportunities, built around clear learning objectives. An educational tour is more than a vacation. It’s a tool for learning and success with fun and excitement built in. By walking in the footsteps of emperors, seeing the art that inspired a society and speaking a foreign language to communicate, students are engaging themselves and becoming life-long, self-directed learners.

This article examines the integration of current scientific knowledge (using nanotechnology as an example) into the general education system. It also explores the potential of elective classes as a flexible form of instruction capable of compensating for the underrepresentation of modern materials science topics in the core curriculum. The article presents the author's own development of the elective course "Introduction to Graphene Technologies" for students in grades 10–11. The article explores the methodological foundations of the course design (system-activity and integrative approaches), its structure, and the planned educational outcomes. It concludes that the study of graphene, with its unique physical and chemical properties and interdisciplinary nature, not only deepens subject knowledge but also effectively develops meta-subject competencies and a conscious professional interest.
