10k Science

10k Science is an immersive 3D science education platform built around real scientific data, available on the web and in VR. Founded and based in Oakland, California, the company creates NGSS-aligned interactive experiences — including VR modules free to download on Meta Quest — that bring university research data into K-12 classrooms, letting students explore phenomena such as plant cell biology and CRISPR gene editing at a molecular level. The platform includes AI auditory guides that provide real-time verbal feedback and an Educator Portal for tracking student progress, helping teachers assess whether students are genuinely engaging with the material rather than passively observing it.
