MEL Science already provides MEL Chemistry to thousands of users in the USA andEurope in both the B2C and B2B sectors. The B2C range provides science sets on a subscription model with an app that allows the user to experience the science behind the experiments in VR, increasing learning and motivation in children through an immersive experience whilst allowing parents and children to spend quality time together.
The B2B product for schools comprises high-quality education programs for children by providing fundamental understanding (instead of just memorising) using simulation engine and molecular-level experiments.
