Our cofounder Kagan explains what LabStar does at BettShow 2020.
BettShow 2020
BettShow2020 was a huge success for the project in many ways. Dr Defne Yabaş accompanied Kagan during our second year at the largest edtech fair in the world. Different from last year, we were now ready to initiate B2B agreements: Don't be surprised if LabStar happens to show herself in Iceland, Scotland, or Thailand. More to come in the very near future.
In Class Pics
Here are some of the teacher-posted pictures on the Internet. We would love to see more photos of teachers and students in action. Post it on Instagram with #LabStar and we will add them here.
