Labster usage drives STEM knowledge, grades, and pass rates

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.

Labster usage drives STEM retention and increases career readiness

Assigning Labster as pre-lab homework has a remarkably large impact on students’ interest in STEM courses and careers in STEM fields.

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.
