What kinds of projects do students work on?

From crafting laser-cut masterpieces to coding digital wonders, students in the Innovation Lab get to tackle all kinds of hands-on adventures. One day it’s robotics and circuits; the next, it’s woodworking with a side of design thinking. They might build a bridge, engineer a moving sculpture, or bring an original idea to life using cardboard, code, and creativity. And don’t forget Shield class, eighth graders design a class coat of arms worthy of hanging in Hodges Theater history. The projects are as varied as the students themselves, blending science, tech, art, and elbow grease into something way more fun than just a school assignment.
