What educators are saying...
"It can be a challenge for students to visualize the parts of the cell and the processes that occur within them; Spongelab not only gives students a great visual tool but allows them to play the biology. Good resources in French are particularly difficult to find, and Spongelab offers their product in both English and French.”
Science Educator
Sabrina Amato, Biology Grade 12
École secondaire Étienne Brûlé
“I remember studying very basic cell biology and being bored to death, but the fact that it was an interactive computer game you could get your hands on and see direct results of too much sun and not enough sun was very pertinent in this day and age when folks are so far removed from the plant and the planet."
Malvina Martin, VP Specials Development at National Geographic TV
