In 2015-2016 we created our version of a maker space; The Innovation Lab. We utilize the ilab to augment our S.T.E.A.M. infused curriculum, providing technology focussed enrichment opportunities and maker-based activities. All grade levels come to the iLab on a rotating weekly schedule. Classroom teachers also sign up to use the iLab for classroom projects during open times. The iLab provides a safe space for students to fail while supporting inquiry-based learning. Students are able to tinker, experiment and prototype in a safe and supportive environment. Collaboration and teamwork are also strongly encouraged. iLab activities are designed to foster self-reliance, attention to detail, patience, communication and empathy.
