- Labster is an edtech company specializing in creating interactive, advanced lab simulations to provide scalable science training software for students.
- The platform offers a virtual laboratory environment that incorporates mathematical algorithms, 3D molecular animations, quizzes, and background theory to enhance science education.
- Labster's immersive simulations allow students to conduct experiments and explore scientific concepts in a risk-free, accessible online environment, focusing on achieving high learning outcomes.
With the advent of pioneering technologies in education, learning has been more entertaining and the process of teaching has been more creative.
In traditional laboratory settings, students often face constraints that hinder their ability to engage in interactive science experiments.
With progressive innovations in STEM learning, and as science education is beyond limitations such as physical resources, time, or safety concerns, more and more edtech platforms have taken over the educational world to transform them.
Labster is one such pioneering platform, offering virtual lab simulations that replicate real-world laboratory environments.
Breaking Down Barriers in Science Education
By offering immersive learning experiences, Labster's innovative solution allows students to access a wide range of experiments across various scientific disciplines.
This includes biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, with access to virtual labs from any part of the world.
Labster’s virtual labs are proven to increase STEM course pass rates by building skills and confidence. Labster helps science faculty engage and support students so they stay on track to graduate college.
With over 300 virtual labs, Labster offers the highest quality and most immersive science simulations available. Students experience true-to-life 3D learning experiences where they complete experiments in service of a mission.
Major features include the following:
Interactive 3D Simulations
The interactive 3D simulations assist students in exploring complex scientific concepts in a safe and controlled environment.
With realistic lab settings and equipment, students can conduct experiments and investigations that would otherwise be impossible to perform in a traditional classroom.
Real-World Applications
The simulations mirror real work scenarios which allow students to see the direct applications of the science experiments in everyday life, thereby increasing student motivation and engagement.
Automated Grading and Feedback
This comes in as a handy feature to instructors as the feedback system provides students with immediate feedback on their performance.
It also helps students with additional support and allows teachers to target instructive material more efficiently.
Virtual Lab Inventory
Labster's virtual lab inventory provides students with access to a wide range of virtual lab equipment and materials, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming setup and maintenance.
LMS Integration
Labster's platform integrates seamlessly with popular Learning Management Systems (LMS), making it easy to incorporate into existing curricula and workflows.
Educate, Accelerate, and Inspire
Founded by Michael Jensen and Mads Tvillinggaard Bonde, Labster’s mission is to make education accessible for every student through immersive experiences that bring science to life.
The company enhances student success both inside and outside of the classroom by building best-in-class simulations designed by real scientists to help teachers educate, accelerate, and inspire.
Labster is evidence-based and focused on student outcomes. Everything they do is ultimately about using the power of immersive learning to provide students with the learning advantage they need to succeed.
"At Labster, we dedicate all our energy and resources to helping students ignite a passion for learning more about the world around them. The world needs more people prepared to take on roles in STEM and healthcare careers, and Labster [plays] an essential part of their learning journeys," said Julian Allen, PhD, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Labster.
Over 6 million learners in 3,000 institutions across 100 countries have seen breakthrough learning outcomes using Labster.
Creating Partnerships for Impact
Labster's commitment to expanding access to education is also reflected in its partnerships with educational institutions and organizations globally.
These collaborations have enabled the company to reach a wide audience and make a significant impact on science education.
With substantial investment to support the mission of transforming science education, the company has raised around $47.1 million towards funding.
Labster also plans to continue innovating and expanding its platform, exploring new technologies such as virtual reality (VR) to further enhance the learning experience.
