ALGETEC's Virtual Labs from Algetec - Soluções Tecnológicas em Educação
ALGETEC is a leading EdTech company that transforms how practical learning is delivered in higher education. Its mission is to democratise access to high-quality laboratory experiences by combining innovative Virtual Laboratories with state-of-the-art Physical Laboratories.
Its Virtual Laboratories provide students with immersive, high-fidelity simulations that replicate real-world experiments across engineering, health sciences, and applied social sciences. Developed in collaboration with top universities, each virtual lab is closely aligned with national curricular standards, ensuring academic rigour and practical relevance. With over 1,000 practices available, students can engage in experiments anytime, anywhere — enabling institutions to offer rich practical experiences even in hybrid or fully remote education models.
Complementing the digital experience, ALGETEC’s Physical Laboratories offer hands-on experimentation through didactic equipment designed for real-world application. Its modular, cost-effective physical labs are used in universities across Latin America, providing students with critical opportunities to apply their skills in tangible, real-life environments.
What sets ALGETEC apart is the synergy between its physical and virtual solutions. Students can first practice safely and flexibly in a virtual environment before progressing to real-world experimentation on physical equipment, maximising learning outcomes and confidence. This integrated approach fosters autonomous learning, strengthens STEAM competencies, and supports educational institutions in delivering experiential education at scale.
Today, ALGETEC solutions support thousands of students across Latin America and Europe, empowering institutions to increase educational productivity, bridge equity gaps, and prepare learners for the future of work.
