Summary:This paper presents the development and implementation of a remote laboratory for thermal radiation, realized as part of the Online Laboratories for Science Education and Training (OnLabEdu) project in Austrian schools. The OnLabEdu initiative meets the demand for remote learning with innovative, accessible online labs for practical science education via internetoperated systems. The Leslie Cube, invented and introduced by John Leslie in 1804, serves as the central experiment in this project to deepen the understanding of thermal radiation processes. The project overcame various technical challenges to establish a low-maintenance, remote-capable foundation, detailed within this work. Furthermore, it defines specific learning goals and introduces new subject-oriented didactic concepts, contributing to the advancement of science education in both practical and pedagogical dimensions.
