The development and design of our new innovative space is underway!
We are working with teachers and students to create a space that will deepen student learning and
foster innovation and design thinking, through integration within the curriculum.

What is the Design Lab’s purpose?
The Design Lab is a nice complement to the STEM Lab as it is a larger space, available for teachers to book with their whole class, with much of the same equipment and activities that you find in the STEM lab.
In addition to these similar things, we also have the Video studio and maker materials for different types of projects and presentations.
- The Design Lab offers teachers and students a space for innovation and technology integration.
- We have equipment, materials and flexible spaces that aren’t available in the regular classroom.
- We have a 3D printer, virtual reality station, video studio with a green screen, a variety of furniture and workstations, as well as low-tech maker materials for creating and exploring the design process.
- Teachers can use the space with their students as an extension of what they’re doing in the classroom, taking advantage of the equipment, the flexibility and us, the Tech Integrators who are here to support them
- Clubs meet here before and after school - Model UN, Coding club, Video Club
- Students drop in when they need to work on class projects - video recording, 3D printing, creating presentations
- Students come during lunch and recess, and can work on challenges for fun STEM-related activities
- Tech Integrators also offer the space, and their time, for teacher and staff professional development.
