My Project

The Innovation Lab gives all students, TK-5th grade, a place to come, create, innovate, engineer and work collaboratively with their peers. In our 1st full year in the Lab, students are working on hands-on projects that include various materials that have them to put STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) into practice to help solve problems.

Students will use these supplies to put their plans and creativity into action by physically building their team ideas to meet specific criteria and constraints.

Providing students with a variety of different building materials allows creativity to blossom and the opportunity to try new ideas, materials, and resources. From Box Loxs to hold cardboard designs together, to tissue and color paper to provide differentiation of work and allow artistic details, to tape that is always helpful, all of these materials are wonderful resources to let engineers and innovators create new and improved ideas.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
