The Problem

40% of US schools lack adequate science lab facilities. Lab supplies cost $5K–$20K per year per school. Safety concerns limit which experiments students can perform. Remote students miss lab experiences entirely. Lab time is limited to 1–2 periods per week.

The Solution

Interactive virtual lab platform with physics, chemistry, and biology simulations that students manipulate like real experiments — with realistic outcomes, data collection, and lab report generation.

Target Audience

K-12 schools without adequate science lab facilities, remote and hybrid learning programs needing lab alternatives, and homeschool families wanting hands-on science experiences

Why Now?

WebGL and 3D rendering enable browser-based realistic simulations. 40% of schools lack labs. Remote learning created demand for virtual labs. NGSS emphasizes inquiry-based learning. Cost of physical lab supplies keeps rising.

Revenue Model

Per-school: $199/mo (up to 500 students), $399/mo (1,500 students), $699/mo (3,000+). Per-student: $3/student/month. District: $2/student/year. Annual: 20% discount.
