SimBio
SimBio is an employee-owned company based out of Missoula, Montana. Our goal is to improve biology education by creating content that engages undergraduates in critical thinking and active learning while learning important concepts. We believe that the deepest learning happens via experimentation and problem-solving, with lots of reinforcing feedback. Our system makes it easy for instructors to create assignments that align with their teaching objectives and that will help their students come to class prepared and ready to engage.
