实验室recognized for pandemic response

我们’re excited and humbled to share that Labster was recently featured in福布斯and新闻周刊作为在Covid-19-19大流行期间“加紧帮助”的公司之一。In early March 2020, as the crisis began to unfold and in-person classes could no longer be held, we decided to make access available to Labster’s online science labs for individual teachers, departments, and entire school systems at deeply discounted rates, with free access options available for high schools.

你们中成千上万的人接受了我们的报价。几乎在一夜之间，学生通过实验室虚拟实验室从传统的科学课上过渡到教师主导的在线科学课程，用于学习生物学，化学，微生物学，遗传学，有机化学，物理学，生态学等等。

我们的关键要点：

Responding to this unforeseen crisis required Labster to stretch and grow in new ways. While many schools are on summer break, we’re reflecting on our own key learnings so we can better prepare ourselves to support students, educators, and institutions for the semester to come.

Stay focused on educators

在过去的几个月中，我们建立了超过20,000名具有Labster访问的教师和100万学生。这比我们以前一次支持的学生和老师还要多。我们正在优先考虑访问我们的科学模拟，并专注于对学生和教育工作者产生最大的影响。华体会赞助ac米兰就像所有在一夜之间改变他们的教学方法的教育者一样，这既令人疲惫又鼓舞人心。

Be bold

我们很快发现，我们的大量新客户有我们目前无法解决的需求。我们做出了大胆的决定，以迅速将整个组织重新集中在扩大对尽可能多的学校和学习者的访问方面。

• 我们invested in new, faster onboarding processes, new ways to access simulations, and new tools like live chat to encourage more direct communication between our scientific experts and our users.
• 我们reimagined our approach to Support by improving user guides and expanding our team around the world.
• 我们updated and improved over 70 simulations, about half of the simulations in our catalog, with improvements to individual simulations’ content and usability as well as technical upgrades such as added compatibility for laptops with lower memory capacity (eg most Chromebooks).

这一时期的增长已经改变了我们。我们的增长将继续下去，我们将继续与您沟通有关我们改善您的实验室经验的方式。

保持视野的活力

增加访问我们的在线science simulations was in alignment with our mission “to empower the next generation of scientists to change the world.” That isn’t a slogan we came up with overnight or as a result of the pandemic; it’s been at the heart of every choice we’ve made since the beginning. And we believe that’s how we were able to make sweeping changes so quickly.

有意识地根据我们的使命和愿景工作，并在我们重新调整团队时分享它，这意味着我们可以依靠Labster的每个人来了解决策背后的“原因”。这扩大了我们动员组织的各个部分的能力，并尽快为教育工作者和学生提供支持。

我们’re always aiming to improve students’ learning outcomes. To do that, we’re always seeking to improve our products and our organization. Like our students, we’ll try new things, fail fast, and keep learning. We are always looking to partner with educators, so please reach out to us with any feedback or suggestions – or if you’re willing to help!
