The lab includes workstations designed for collaboration, a 3D printer, state of the art computers, many learning kits, and a video production studio. Students will rotate STEM, art and physical education electives, in ten day segments. During the ten day STEM rotation, they will select and research projects, solve problems, and present their findings and finished products.
The lab is almost 2,500 square feet and includes open center space for the learner stations. The stations are grouped into five islands assigned to study areas of Science Probeware Exploration, Alternative Energy Studies, Pneumatic Circuitry, Electric Circuitry and Stop Motion Animation.
