PraxiLabs
Education Platform
PraxiLabs is a 3D virtual science lab platform that has benefitted 2.5M+ students across 18 countries, solving the critical barrier of lab access in underserved regions. Developing a single virtual experiment currently costs $30,000+ and takes 6 months, limiting scale. Our proprietary AI automation engine reduces this to $1–5K and 2 weeks, a breakthrough no competitor has achieved. 80% of our users are from low-income universities; 50% are female, advancing gender equality. Six peer-reviewed studies confirm significant STEM achievement gains. Support PraxiLabs to reach 10M+ underserved students by 2030.
I'm nominating this project for its innovation, resource-efficiency, and coverage of marginalized and under-resourced schools, universities, and institutions especially with the MENA and African communities. This is pioneering, state of the art, and inclusive.
WINNER STATEMENTHonestly, winning the iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE 2026 brought smiles to the faces of our entire team! PraxiLabs was founded to provide students with real science labs, even in places where they don't yet exist, so receiving recognition for this work means a great deal to us. We will invest the grant funds directly in developing new experiments and engaging more students who truly need this support. Thank you so much for helping us to make science education accessible to students around the world.
