Abstract
Experimentations in electronic engineering are meant to be fun, since they are about handcrafting, building and inventing. However, they are also quite difficult to handle and contain lots of problems. Many students in our school resist to go to experiment courses and lose confidence of themselves, but they are actually able to overcome the difficulty.

Labophobia /lə’bɒfəʊbɪə/
noun. an abnormal fear of experiment; an aversion to experiment.

There are more than 1240 colleges in China and the amount of students majored in Electronic Engineering or related discipline is estimated to be over 300 thousands.

What can we do if students fear or dislike their experiment courses? Teachers and assistants have tried different approaches like giving more instructions or changing the way of teaching. However, there isn’t any approach that have concerned about students’ mental states. What if I can propose an app that is for students to manage their emotions, communicate with others and record their achievements when doing experiment?
