PocketLab Information

PocketLab puts real science in the hands of every student. We build wireless multi-function sensors and an AI-powered Notebook platform for K-12 science classrooms. Students don't just read about Newton's Laws — they measure them. They don't just learn about energy transfer — they collect live data on it. Science becomes something you do, not something you watch. **Deployed in 4,400+ US school districts. 100,000+ sensors in classrooms worldwide.** Our hardware connects wirelessly to PocketLab Notebook — an AI-powered platform where students collect, analyze, and share real experimental data across physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. Fully NGSS-aligned. Built for inquiry-based learning. Designed to be the most affordable hands-on science solution in K-12. PocketLab is also the home of **Science is Cool (ScIC)** — a global science education community we created to inspire students and teachers through live virtual events with world-class scientists, journalists, and explorers. Past events have brought 80,000 students live to Antarctica, partnered with PBS NewsHour and PBS NOVA, and connected classrooms to the International Space Station. We believe every student deserves a science teacher who can make the subject come alive — and every teacher deserves tools that make that possible. **What we offer:** - Wireless sensors (motion, force, light, temperature, magnetic field, and more) - PocketLab Notebook: AI-powered student lab platform - PBS NewsHour Education channel (free, inside the PocketLab app) - Science is Cool virtual events and professional development workshops - NGSS-aligned curriculum and lesson libraries - Free teacher PD and certification **Outcome data:** Districts using PocketLab's Conceptual Academy Biology program achieved +11% improvement on state assessments vs. the state average of +5% (Texas STAAR, 2025, p < .05).
