Vlaby Platform
Many students face a big problem with traditional laboratories inside the school that cannot be easily accessed, some experiments are dangerous to do inside the school, large costs are incurred by schools to establish equipped and insured laboratories for all students, in addition to the Corona crisis, which prevented many students from attending schools and relying on online learning, which greatly lacks practical skills.
Therefore, the Vlaby platform is working to provide an alternative solution, which is "virtual labs" through a team of educational experts and designers.
Vlaby is first virtual labs platform for school students in MENA, that allows students and teachers to conduct practical science experiments in a virtual online lab that simulates the traditional science laboratory and has all lab equipment, chemicals, devices, glass tools and other laboratory tools, Thus, the student can conduct experiments anytime, anywhere and from any device.
The students:
Students at different academic levels can conduct
Experiments according to their own curriculum freely and safely, especially students in poor countries who are not able to provide the components of traditional laboratories appropriately in their schools
Teachers:
Especially science teachers, chemistry, physics and biology, who do not have many tools to explain concepts to their students
Owners of private schools:
Many school officials suffer from the high prices of equipment and tools in traditional laboratories, so the virtual laboratory is suitable for them
We are a diverse team. We worked together on 3-year schools, and some of us are colleagues from college days, specializing in the field of educational technology. We produced many previous educational applications, including what won the award for the best application in the Arab world from the League of Arab States, and what was chosen among the best educational innovations in Africa.
We also always strive for scientific and practical excellence. Some of us have obtained a doctorate degree in the same specialty, and this increases the efficiency of our performance.
- Provide access to improved civic action learning in a wide range of contexts: with educator support for classroom-based approaches, and community-building opportunities for out of school, community-based approaches.
- Egypt, Arab Rep.
- Growth: An organization with an established product, service, or business model that is rolled out in one or more communities
The problem of practical science experiments is a global problem in many countries of the world, and the main objective of our presentation is to spread the culture and solution of virtual laboratories in all countries of the world most in need, especially since the experiments are very similar among different countries, and our solution depends on five international languages, so we can easily publish it in different countries
