Published on Dec 7, 2016
Researchers from Stanford's School of Engineering and Graduate School of Education have invented a remote-controlled system that enables teachers and students to design and observe experiments involving single-celled organisms. The Interactive Biology Cloud Lab could one day empower millions of students to learn in new and more imaginative ways. Story at news.stanford.edu
Paulo Blikstein, Ingmar Riedel-Kruse, Zahid Hossain and Engin Bumbacher have invented a remote-controlled system called the Interactive Biology Cloud Lab that enables teachers and students to design and observe experiments involving single-celled organisms. This BioCloud project, a collaboration of bioengineering, computer science and education scholars at Stanford University, has the potential to give students who have no access to biology lab equipment the ability to do real experiments through their computers and to get real and detailed data of the results.
