Virtual Labs is a set of hands-on science simulations for students and teachers. Highly interactive web app learning experiments with drag and drop equipment, mixing chemicals and getting results you would see in a real lab.
I was design lead across the Virtual Labs product. This role was a mix of being very hands on as part of a product and engineering team (within UsTwo design agency) as well as managing internal designers. The content was created in collaboration with education experts in Boston, Utah and the UK.

Making the labs ‘easy to use’ but challenging to ‘learn the science’ was a fascinating journey for both educators and product designers!
