Texas
Pilots for the 2026-27 school year
Bringing real science investigation
into your Texas classrooms
Lab4U empowers students to generate, collect and analyze their own data, in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Integrated Physics and Chemistry (IPC), on the devices your schools already issue.
Correlated to the science TEKS
Runs on district-issued devices
For district IT: App Store and Google Play
Three steps and the Lab is already running
There is nothing to install or build. The lab happens within the district device. The guidance happens in the app and with our teacher’s success. And the results land in the teacher dashboard.
1
Open the app
Open on the district issued device. No set-up, no consumables.
2
Run the Lab
Your device sensors do the measuring, data collection, and reporting. Work online or offline, the experience is the same.
3
Check the dashboard
The teacher sees lab engagement and student results in real time.
What has been measured and what is still being built
Third-party studies and patented instruments on one side. On the other, an honest list of the certifications a Texas district asks for.
4,868 students
Inter-American Development Bank impact study
Higher physics knowledge, a stronger science self concept and more interest in STEM careers. A separate study measured a real improvement in how young women understand physics.
Interest in physics and graph interpretation among young women
Peer-reviewed finding published in the International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education. It speaks directly to the STEM endorsement participation gap.

Four things a Texas district is already dealing with
Four common challenges Lab4U solves:
The 40% investigation requirement is not being met in substance on Lab-constrained campuses.
This Texas rule asks that at least 40% of instructional time be spent on activities in which students collect and analyze their own data.

Some campuses have no chemistry or physics lab
Texas has more rural schools than any other state. All students should have access to modern, career-relevant science labs that prepare them for their future.

Physics is where teacher capacity is thinnest
Fewer certified teachers, less equipment and frequent out-of-field assignment, in the course the STEM endorsement requires.

HB 1481 took personal devices out of the school day
Personal devices is out, but not technology, institutional devices such as tablets and Ipads work with Lab4U.

Since
2013
Three subjects, one app, the same login
Physics, Chemistry and Biology each have their own set of labs and their own instruments.
Lab4U Physics
Motion, forces, light and sound
There is nothing to install or build. The lab happens within the district device. The guidance happens in the app. And the results land in the teacher dashboard.
Chips
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Microphone
The patented colorimeter reads concentration straight from the camera, so there is no spectrophotometer to buy or calibrate.

Lab4U Chemistry
Reactions, pH and concentration
The device's camera works as an analiscope and the shared logbook keeps every observation in one place for the whole class.

What curriculum developers and teachers have to say
Texas voices replace these as soon as the first pilots close. Until then the roles do the talking.
“One of the best features is that students can quickly implement the tool with minimal guidance.”
JW
Jennifer Walwark
Curriculum Director, School of the Madeleine
“Lab4U addresses a major challenge in public education: giving students tools to learn science in fun, engaging ways.”
RM
Roberto Medina
Physics Teacher, CETMAR
“Before, physics was boring. With Lab4U it is more dynamic, fun, and easier.”
A
Andrea
High School Student
“Interactive activities improve the classroom environment.”

TEXAS PILOTS FOR THE 2026-27 SCHOOL YEAR
Bring investigation to the campuses that go without it
We bring the instrument, the correlation and the impact. If a campus is short on devices, let us talk: we have funded equipment with corporate partners before.
