Upptech Science center: A Fun and Educational Experience

“Our driving school is really nice and popular. When kids are getting closer and see the houses, the roads, and the cars, they get very excited, eager to jump into the track and start driving! The maintenance of the cars is not a big deal, but if something happens, we just pick up the phone and call SBI and that’s it.”

– Barbro Jarl, at Upptech
