Students learn skills and concepts faster with Labster’s virtual labs. This is especially important for low-performing students whose positive learning experience feeds their belief in their own ability to succeed in STEM.
Assigning Labster as pre-lab homework has a remarkably large impact on students’ interest in STEM courses and careers in STEM fields.
Labster is an industry leader, backed by proven research and co-created by scientists.
“Educators and researchers continue to uncover important insights about how people learn. Digital Promise’s Research-Based Design Product Certification recognizes the edtech products that incorporate research about learning into their design and development. Congratulations to Labster for demonstrating that research informs product design!”

Virtual lab simulations are interactive learning environments that place the student in a central, decision-making role where they’re challenged to apply their skills to solve problems within the context of a story that helps them quickly grasp learning. Labster also empowers students to try simulations as often as they need to master content on their own time.

By empowering them to conceptualize and interact with complex material on their own terms, Labster gives students the confidence they need to choose STEM long-term. That's why 80% of students polled said they were more likely to stick with their STEM courses after using Labster.
