Labster is an online platform that provides high school students the opportunity to perform various experiments online in a risk-free environment. Labsters is a perfect solution for third-world countries where most students don’t have access to modern labs for performing Science, Physics, and Chemistry experiments.
With Labster, they can learn about the latest technologies, new ways of experimenting, and get an experience of practical learning, right from their homes. The motive of the company is to build easily scalable online solutions that improve learning significantly with standard methods in substantially reduced costs. The Labster platform also includes molecular 3D animations, quiz questions and background theories that engage students in an immersive, game-like multimedia experience.
Empowering the next generation of scientists to change the world. Providing access to over 2,000 institutions and over 3 million students around the globe. It is developed by scientists for future scientists.
What are virtual labs?
Virtual lab simulations allow students to complete laboratory experiments online and explore abstract concepts and complex theories without stepping into a physical science lab. Labster simulations visualize science at a molecular level, offering open access to students. They can then apply their scientific knowledge and use advanced lab equipment to solve real-world challenges, such as DNA and gene sequencing, chemical reactions and cancer treatment responses. The gamified 3D learning virtual environment may be a laboratory, a forest or the desert plains of our imaginary exoplanet — Astakos IV, and is combined with engaging storytelling and a scoring system.
Labster provides STEM curriculum-aligned virtual laboratory simulations within biology, biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, chemistry, physics and more.
