Flagship case study
Building practical science for classrooms with no laboratory
Client: Blue Sands STEM Labs, the first platform built on CR8LAB technology
Challenge
Across six African markets, between 45 and 75 percent of secondary schools have no adequate science laboratory. In Nigeria the figure is 65 percent, and 91 percent of schools surveyed report insufficient equipment for hands-on training. Students sit practical examinations for experiments they have never performed. Building physical laboratories at that scale will not happen this decade.

Solution
CR8LAB developed an AR book series and a tablet based virtual science laboratory, designed for classrooms with unreliable connectivity and entry level devices. Original illustrated titles for ages 4 to 13 with a full 3D layer, [250]+ curriculum mapped experiments, teacher certification and onboarding, and a dashboard giving teachers class level evidence within the term.
The hard part
Every design decision was set by the worst case classroom rather than the best. Thirty children, one teacher, one shared connection that drops, tablets that must last a full school day, and content that has to run with the network off entirely. That constraint dictated asset budgets, texture sizes, download pack structure and every interaction we built.
