Mission

Our mission is to engage all students in personally meaningful, computationally rich, and interdisciplinary learning experiences. With a vision to inspire curiosity, fuel innovation, and empower students to solve problems and pursue lifelong learning, the Innovation Hub aims to create a collaborative and inclusive educational space.​

Project Based Learning

PBL has been shown to increase student engagement, address 21st century learning competencies and lead to positive development and learning outcomes (Drake & Reid, 2020).​

Computationally Rich

STEM+CS pedagogical approaches, such as experimentation and collaboration, engage students in creating new technology to solve real-world problems.
