Inspirit uses virtual labs and 3D learning content to transform the way science is taught. We offer K-12 access to a next-generation learning platform with a large collection of immersive labs and simulations, available across a range of desktop/laptop and VR platforms. Our platform includes classroom management tools, custom assessment integrations, virtual lab sessions, and options for curriculum alignment. Built by a team of Stanford University Education and VR researchers, our content is designed to stimulate high knowledge gain, deep engagement, and critical thinking in learners through their active involvement in virtual environments. With COVID-19, the need for a tool of this kind has only shot up — and in the short span of our company, we’ve seen thousands of teachers use our resources and request more. We believe that high-quality content should be accessible, so we do not bundle and charge for the labs, but offer them completely for free, in order to also build a strong and engaged community. We monetize platform-level tools and take a B2C approach by reaching out to the teachers and parents. I am a Knight-Hennessy scholar and Ph.D. candidate in Education technology, and we work at the cutting edge of VR and learning science. My co-founder, Amrutha, is an ex-Proctor and Gamble manager and engineer and leads our outreach, brand, and sales. We are seed-stage backed, and always looking to reinvent the way students enjoy STEM content.
