About this app
Launch Lab is a self-paced business simulation where high schoolers run a fictional game studio, setting prices and tracking revenue, costs, and profit across six guided missions.
Who is Launch Lab for?
Suits high school students studying math or economics concepts like revenue, profit, and break-even analysis, likely as a hands-on practice activity rather than a first introduction to the terms.
What does Launch Lab teach, and how?
Students manage a fictional game studio across six missions, setting prices on a slider, recording development costs, and calculating revenue, profit, and break-even points as sales accumulate; a later mission adds an expansion with its own costs and sales.
How is success measured in Launch Lab?
The app tracks independent successes separately from supported ones (where hints or rescue grants were used), and earning three independent successes unlocks a skill badge and an optional harder version of the content.
How long does Launch Lab take, and what does it need?
The simulation is untimed with no speed bonuses, so students can pause and resume freely; it requires no sign-in, needs only a browser, and saves progress locally on the device being used.
