The task of higher education institutions is not only to provide university students with professional knowledge and skills but also to prepare them to meet the requirements of the labour market. In adapting to the changing environment, teaching methods at universities need to be selected to ensure that graduates succeed in the challenges of our time. Therefore, the teaching methods must be constantly renewed. The natural sciences are particularly well-suited for knowledge transfer that involves various technical subjects. The teaching of chemistry, which forms the basis of chemical, biological, and environmental engineering, offers an excellent opportunity to introduce experiential pedagogical methods by carrying out a project in an undergraduate course that involves laboratory work. The results of the project detailed in this paper are a play and its performance written about the production of a chemical compound. Creating intellectual work by completing several sub-tasks described in this study in teams leads to a shared experience of success for the students. It can be good practice for approaching a technical task considering different perspectives. The use of experiential pedagogy is also expected to develop students’ personal and social competencies while broadening their professional perspectives. This study details the parts of the project, the aspects of evaluation, and its expected effects on the students, and outlines some ideas for further development of this method.
