Labster Virtual Laboratories
Empowering the next generation of scientists to change the world
Labster is a laboratory simulator accessible in any web-browser, tablet and virtual reality device where students engage with biology, chemistry and physics experiments. Furthermore, it increases the learning process compared to traditional teaching methods by integrating molecular 3D animations, gamification (e.g. crime scenes), and inquiry-based learning. The core product is an easily scalable online platform for teaching science that has been demonstrated to improve learning effectiveness significantly over standard methods by more than 76% and reduce costs by up to 90%. Labster aims to revolutionize education globally and to impact millions of students by providing better education and motivating more people to study science. In developing countries we aim to offer high quality science education that was previously impossible to reach for most people. Our vision is to empower the next generation to change the world and social impact is at the core of our organization.
