Using the highest levels of technology with iPads and Mac Pros for video editing, modular robotics, Lego robotics, Lego Storystarter, Spheros, Osmos, modular robotics, and lego robotics, MakeyMakeys, Snap Circuits, LilyPad sewable electronics, GoPro cameras, HTC Live Virtual Reality and 3D printers, the workspace is aimed to help students plan, design, invent and create using a wide variety of learning styles.
Six Computer Science classes meet in the Makerspace...6th, 7th, 8th grade and 3 Upper School classes. In Upper School, students have the option to take JavaScript, Engineering, and Cybersecurity as academic electives. Additional Upper School elective courses frequently use equipment in the Makerspace. All computer stations in the Makerspace have two monitors. This allows students to work at their own pace watching tutorials on one screen and programming, designing, etc on the other screen.
