About the Program: 

 Our Design Innovation Lab is a place students apply their basic classroom skills towards meaningful purposeful project based learning during the school day.   Our projects range from environmental Sciences, social global change, all the way to Design innovation Engineering and Robotics.   Students work collaborative in our laboratory but also have a chance to think quietly on their own while researching. 

Our lab focuses on the essential outcomes:  Problem Solving, Ethical Citizenship, emotional resiliency, flexible thinking, reflective thinking, critical thinking, effective communication and listening. 

We house a tinkering lab as well as the school's Green Team which takes care of school recycling, composting and litter issues.
