Researchers at the University of Ghana are helping design a project that will create virtual laboratories to help African students obtain valuable lab experience.
The university is one of several African partners working with the Open University in the United Kingdom on the Open STEM Africa Laboratory app.
The app will allow teachers and students to access onscreen science experiments and simulations, helping them overcome the dire lack of laboratory space and equipment in many schools and universities.
