Innovation Center

FOCUS Student learning at the Innovation Center transcends the traditional classroom and provides experiential opportunities that are developing today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and changemakers. We currently offer 30 courses which advance a student’s knowledge in a career pathway of interest. Many of our courses are concurrent (dual college and high school credit) offerings or may have an industry certification. The Innovation Center is housed in a new, state-of-the-art 50,000 sq. ft. facility that includes a community Makerspace, Innovative Technologies Lab, collaboration spaces, Enterprise Zone, Studio, a Pitch Room, Aeronautics and Pilot Ground, Biomedical Science Lab, Classrooms, Robotics Lab with Underwater Testing Tank, prototype spaces, and more. There is opportunity for students to become employed at the Innovation Center as student designers. This is made available to any St. Vrain student 15 or older (14-year-olds may volunteer).
