INNOVATION LAB

The Mathews Innovation Lab provides an extended space for students to use their imagination and creativity to learn through hands-on experiences. As our students use collaboration, communication, making, tinkering, and engineering, we encourage them to learn through successes as well as failures.

​

Mathews students visit the Innovation Lab with Mrs. Sanders, our technology teacher, once a week. The students will learn how to use high and low-tech resources to provide opportunities for creative use. These resources range from iMac software, 3-D printer, laser cutter, and iPad apps to the use of hand tools such as drills and saws. The Lab has a variety of "treasure trash" the students can use to design and create projects from scratch. Computer science skills using Bee-Bot Robots, ScratchMIT, Ozobots, Hummingbird, and VEX Robotics for coding are introduced as well as circuitry with Squishy circuits and Little Bits.
