A school in Germany has installed a glowing floor for their new gym.
The futuristic sports gym has markings on the floor that are controlled by a touch screen which means the gym can be transformed from a tennis court to a basketball court in an instant.
The system works thanks to strips of LED lights hidden under the gym floor.
It makes the gym perfect for hosting a variety of sport – and looks like a cool place to hold the school disco too!
