Virtual labster laboratories for youth in Trostyanets

Ensuring and providing access to quality education for teenagers is one of the Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed by the UN. In pursuit of this goal, an event was organized by the Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology in mid-January for the youth of Trostyanets, specifically for students of Secondary School I-III levels No. 5 under the Trostyanets City Council. The event was hosted by Kateryna KLYMENKO, a student of group SM-401.

The purpose of the meeting was to familiarize school students with the Labster platform, which integrates the best virtual simulators and simulations. Labster is a platform for virtual laboratory work, allowing students to study scientific concepts and conduct experiments in a virtual environment. Kateryna explained that this approach offers several advantages and can be highly beneficial for learning.

Key advantages of Labster:

  • Accessibility:Available anytime and from anywhere.
  • Safety:Enables the exploration of complex and potentially dangerous processes without real-world risks.
  • Virtual Environment:Reproduces various biological processes.
  • Realism:High levels of detail and realism help in better understanding scientific processes.
  • Variety:Offers numerous scenarios and experiments for studying different aspects of science.
  • Adaptability:Provides hints and guidance during experiments to aid comprehension.
  • Engagement:Virtual laboratory work encourages result analysis and decision-making, fostering critical thinking.

Labster serves as a valuable supplement to traditional teaching methods, enabling students to study and experiment with scientific concepts in a virtual environment.

Together with Kateryna, the students participated in engaging biology lab activities, such as “Molecular Cloning” and “Cell Membrane and Transport: Types of Transporter Proteins.”

We extend our gratitude to all participants for their teamwork, diligence, and for creating such a warm and friendly atmosphere!
