About
PraxiLabs is a comprehensive virtual science laboratory platform designed for universities, schools, and educational institutions seeking to modernize STEM education. It provides over 210 immersive 3D lab simulations spanning Biology (Molecular Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Forensics, and more), Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Analytical), and Physics (Mechanics, Electricity, Waves, Thermodynamics), all aligned to standard curricula. At the heart of PraxiLabs is 'Oxi,' an AI lab assistant that delivers real-time, personalized guidance to students during experiments while providing instructors with actionable content insights and recommendations. A built-in Custom Quiz Builder lets educators create quizzes with custom question types, difficulty levels, and timing — all linked directly to lab experiments with automatic grading and feedback. Performance Analytics gives instructors granular visibility into every student action, completion rate, and learning outcome in real time. Automated reports support data-driven teaching decisions. The platform integrates with leading LMS systems — Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and more — in as little as 24 hours at no extra cost. PraxiLabs supports multiple learning styles through multimedia content, voice guidance, and interactive simulations. Institutions can request custom experiment builds and multilingual support. A free account with access to three full simulations is available with no credit card required, while institutional plans unlock the full simulation library and premium features.
