The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MoES) and Labster, the world’s leading platform for virtual labs and interactive science, announced today that Labster has donated its science learning platform to all universities, colleges, as well as all schools and educational institutions in Ukraine.
Labster’s donation will enable more than 4.5 million students in every education institution in Ukraine to offer immersive interactive science programs online or in-person using Labster’s award-winning virtual science simulations for a full year. Educators can easily integrate Labster into their existing science courses and filter the more than 300 of virtual lab simulations available by level of education, courses and topics to enable efficient learning experience. In addition to providing access to its catalog of simulations, Labster is also donating professional development training and technical support service to all science faculty and students.
Multiple universities in Ukraine have already signed up for Labster’s offering and started implementing Labster as part of their courses over the last few weeks. These includes Sumy State University, Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture and Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology.
“We are honored to provide our full support to Ukrainian educators and students who are continuing their studies despite the challenging circumstances in which they live,”
said Michael Bodekaer Jensen, Labster co-founder and CEO. “Providing access to our high-quality interactive science learning platform in Ukraine aligns with Labster’s vision to empower the next generation of scientists to change the world.”
“It is critical that we empower our educators and provide the means for all Ukrainian students to learn science and technology, whether they intend to become government officials, entrepreneurs, farmers, or physicians. As young citizens graduate, they must be prepared to immediately contribute, and science is fundamental to every field. We are grateful to Labster for donating access to its advanced STEM education platform, available anytime and anywhere, for all Ukrainian students in high school, technical school, and university,” said Ukraine’s First Deputy Minister of Education and Science, Andrii Vitrenko.
