STA CURIOUS -- our school’s Maker Space has been developed over the past couple of years. Many of our teachers and students use it on a daily basis. From 3D printing, crafting with the Cricut machine, to sewing machines and now a new Glowforge laser cutter! We have STA CURIOUS hours built into our regular schedule where students determine their own learning goals, collaborate with staff to ensure they have the resources they need to accomplish those goals, and then share their successes with others. You can find our students helping our staff to learn new tools
