Abstract: 
The Timepix readout chip is a highly accurate and versatile device with many applications in radiation detection and measurement. One such application is Minipix Edu, a set of nuclear and radiation experimental tools designed for educational purposes. It includes a Minipix detector, USB interface, and software package that allows students to perform experiments related to radiation measurement, nuclear physics, and radiation safety. The kit covers a wide range of topics, including radiation sources, radon measurement, radiation shielding, nuclear decay, and nuclear reactions... In this study, we will review the specific applications that have been implemented worldwide as well as the potential applications of Timepix detector for research and training in radiation safety and nuclear physics
