Dive into the Future of Science: the ECVAM Virtual Lab
Embark on a 20-minute virtual adventure, designed for students aged 14-18 but equally engaging for older learners. Step into the ECVAM virtual lab and join a friendly professor on a journey to explore a new alternative to animal testing method. You will conduct experiments, just like in a real laboratory, to evaluate the reproducibility of a test method. Through this interactive journey, you will learn about laboratory work and alternatives to animal testing methods, while having fun.
A Fun and Engaging Way to Learn
Designed with young people in mind, this ECVAM Virtual Lab experience uses engaging visuals and storytelling to make learning fun and interactive. Compatible with Meta Quest 2 headset, it is the perfect way to explore the future of science from the comfort of your school/home. Guided by a virtual professor, you will evaluate the reproducibility of an animal-free method and gain valuable hands-on training and learning opportunities.
Shaping the Future of Science Education
The ECVAM Virtual Lab is a powerful tool that has the potential to make a significant contribution to science education by providing students with an engaging and immersive way to learn about alternatives to animal testing. By offering a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge, animal-free research methods, this virtual laboratory empowers the next generation of scientists to embrace the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) principles.
