Empowering Innovation through Real-World Learning.

Timeline

Founded in 2020 after a successful student final year project in 2019, our journey began with a vision to revolutionize STEM education by making hands-on lab experiences more accessible. Starting with a small team of passionate engineers and educators, we developed our first real online labs for electrical and electronics engineering. Over the years, we've expanded our offerings, refined our technology, and formed strategic partnerships with universities and educational institutions. . Today, we continue to innovate, driven by our commitment to empowering students with real, practical knowledge in the digital age.
