ByDesign Virtual Labs

The By Design Labs team has developed an engaging and expansive investigative experience for our Adventist education science students. The 21st Century learner will be digitally transported to a variety of environments and enabled to perform their labs in a variety of situations. The intent of this system is that it will be available to all Seventh-day Adventist schools as a gratis service of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist.
