Case Study: Livingston High School prepares students for biotech careers with Labster virtual labs

Livingston High School Prepares Students for a Future in Biotech with Virtual Labs

Labster provided virtual lab simulations for Livingston High School, a public institution facing the challenge of teaching advanced biotech skills without the multi-million dollar budget required for traditional lab equipment. Teacher Diane Sigales needed to give her students a real-world biotechnology education but was constrained by limited funds, space, and resources.

The solution was implementing Labster's library of engaging, interactive biotech simulations, which students used to practice techniques as homework. This allowed the teacher to maximize in-person lab time and use detailed dashboards to target learning gaps. Labster resulted in superior learning outcomes, with students retaining knowledge a year later. The measurable impact was demonstrated when a former student secured a university lab job as a freshman due to the skills learned with the software.
