What the professors say

"It’s been really helpful for me as a teacher to use the virtual labs and get through topics that require visualization and physical practice. They are essentially getting a level of experience that I was not exposed to until my thesis work in graduate school.”
Dr. Suzanna Katz
Dr. Suzanna KatzStaten Island Academy
“Right from the beginning, I have found the customer service with Labster to be nothing short of outstanding.”
Dr. Joel Yager Humphrey
Dr. Joel Yager HumphreyCayuga Community College, NY
“The virtual labs really help the students become familiar with the material before they engage in the class."
Dr. Paul Kasili
Dr. Paul KasiliBunker Hill Community College
“Being able to see processes, the order of steps that have to be done, and if you do a step out of order then you’re not going to get very far in the experiment. So that’s what’s really nice about Labster in my biology class – you presented them in a fun way that they could actually see how it would be applied in the real world or in any biology lab.”

“The simulations are a great resource for community colleges and they have absolutely exceeded my expectations.”
Dr. Kamesh Narasimhan

"I would enthusiastically recommend Labster to others. It has provided our students with a very valuable learning tool, giving them more transferable skills and helping them to contextualize their own learning.”
