Science students everywhere need lab experience in order to contextualize and embed learning. Until know, students have only been able to learn expensive lab techniques by being in a physical lab environment. And setting up and maintaining a physical lab space is costly, time-consuming, and can be dangerous to under-prepared students.

Labster is basically a virtual lab; an easily scalable online teaching platform that focuses on pedagogy, learning outcomes and simulation design to create a truly unique and effective virtual learning environment. The immersive, web-based laboratory simulations help students to retain more knowledge and increase their outcomes. Labster provides a real alternative that achieves the same, or better, student outcomes. A virtual learning space breaks down barriers – the pressure to maintain a physical learning is removed and as a result, even more students can access deep, engaging scientific knowledge.

Labster’s vision is “to empower the next generation to change the world” and social impact is at the core of our organization. Labster’s ambition is to revolutionize education globally, to provide better education to millions of students, and to motivate even more people to study science. Through virtual environments augmented by adaptive learning and a virtual mentor, millions of students can now access and retain scientific knowledge at an unprecedented rate.
