LuminaLab: The interactive simulator that actually helps in the classroom
Simulators for physics, electronics, electrical engineering and STEM education, optimised for the interactive whiteboard. Free. Ready to use. Built for secondary school.
Why LuminaLab exists
LuminaLab was born from a concrete need felt by teachers: a modern, visually refined tool designed from the ground up for the interactive whiteboard, not retrofitted for it.
Explaining the behaviour of an RC circuit, the motion of an electric field, the frequency response of a filter or Pascal's Law with a static slide, a video or a freehand drawing on the board only gets you so far. Real understanding comes when students can see the phenomenon move, change, respond in real time to the parameters they already know from theory. All of this within a consistent visual environment shared across every module.
LuminaLab is the tool we wished we had in the classroom. So we built it, and we keep building it.
Who is LuminaLab for
- 👨🏫 Teachers in secondary schools who teach physics, electronics, electrical engineering and scientific or technological subjects
- 🖥️ Anyone using an interactive whiteboard who needs tools optimised for full-screen visualisation and interaction
- 🎓 Students who want to explore and better understand phenomena that are hard to picture without interactivity

In a nutshell
- ◆ IWB-first: every element is designed to be readable from the back of the classroom, clean interface, high contrast, easy-on-the-eye colours
- ◆ Built for school: modules cover the topics you actually teach, not an encyclopaedic catalogue with no connection to real classroom practice
- ◆ Consistent design: one unified visual system, not a collection of unrelated applets
- ◆ Completely free.
