About the store
We don't just sell a Google Doc or a PDF. We build interactive web experiences.
The Simulation Lab creates ready-to-deploy web applications that turn passive learning into active decision-making. Our students don't fill in blanks—they make choices, face consequences, and engage with content the way they engage with everything else in their digital lives.
Every product is built by a classroom teacher with 10+ years of experience in AP and dual-credit courses. These aren't theoretical EdTech concepts—they're tools I built for my own students, tested in real classrooms, and refined based on what actually works.
What makes us different:
Interactive simulations and choose-your-own-adventure experiences:
- Auto-saving student responses to YOUR Google Sheet
- One-click deployment (no coding required)
- Works on any device with a browser
