What is the Community Campus?

The Labster Community Campus is designed specifically for teachers and professors, and is your space for developing your virtual simulation skills, connecting with other science educators, and gaining thought leadership opportunities; all while earning classroom rewards along the way. Community features include:

  • Fun, quick and stimulating activities to increase your success in and out of the classroom
  • Discussion forums to connect educators with each other and the Labster team
  • The Labster Academy certification program
  • Classroom rewards!

A gamified experience with a rewarding outcome

The Community Campus is a game-like experience (much like our virtual labs), developed to entertain and engage teachers. Challenges and activities are delivered to you based on your profile preferences like the level of education you teach, where you're located, and what your interests are.

Each challenge has a set amount of points. Complete the challenge, earn the points. Earn enough points and you can exchange them for rewards. Complete enough challenges, and you will earn badges of achievement. For our academically competitive members, the Labster Community Campus leaderboard tracks our members’ accomplishments.
