200+ virtual labs for universities and high schools.


Virtual lab simulations allow students to complete laboratory experiments online and explore abstract concepts and complex theories without stepping into a physical science lab. Labster simulations visualize science at a molecular level, offering open access to students. They can then apply their scientific knowledge and use advanced lab equipment to solve real-world challenges, such as DNA and gene sequencing, chemical reactions and cancer treatment responses. The gamified 3D learning virtual environment may be a laboratory, a forest or the desert plains of our imaginary exoplanet — Astakos IV, and is combined with engaging storytelling and a scoring system.
 

How to use this resource

Virtual labs are interactive science simulations that students complete online, from their personal devices. Each lab places students in real world scenarios, where they must apply their knowledge to solve real world problems.
