education and virtual reality - reimagining education with vr
TRANSCRIPT
Education and Virtual RealityBy Michael BodekaerLabster CTO and Learn Technologies CEO
The World is Facing
Great Challenges
And we all rely on the next generation of young scientiststo come up with new great innovations to solve challenges
But science education is found to be
boring, ineffective and expensiveSource: Moskovitz, SCIENCE, 2011, Institute for Technology and Engineering (2008)
Are we really innovating education?
E-books, YouTube and MOOCs all just bring same content out to more students. Teaching method is still the same as 50 years ago. No real innovation there.
“For jets, more than 90% of the experimental comparisons
favored simulator and aircraft training over aircraft training alone.”Source: Hays, Robert T., US Naval Training Systems Ctr, Human Factors Div, Orlando, FL, US (1992)
Why not just build a virtual laboratory simulator?
We could instantly give millions of students access
to cutting-edge laboratories at almost no costs!

Let us inspire and empower more young students like Jack Andraka,
who invented a breakthrough low-cost test for pancreatic cancer
And remember: We all rely on the next generation of young scientists
to come up with new great innovations to solve challenges
Labster creates innovative virtual laboratories to empower and inspire young students with more engaging and effective 3D learning simulations.
