Design thinking labs

Stacked high with supplies from popsicle sticks to circuit boards, our Lower School design thinking labs are a place where young learners create, collaborate, and innovate. Our design thinking curriculum emphasizes empathy and curiosity–and it’s a lot of fun!

The Roberto C. Goizueta Innovation Lab

The 3,400-square-foot innovation space serves as a catalyst for the Middle School’s comprehensive STEAM initiative. It’s a malleable workshop in Clarkson Hall with rows and rows of hand tools, a laser cutter, a 3D printer, sewing machines, a variety of saws and drills, and towering stacks of scrap wood, cardboard, and other building materials. This is a place where students learn more deeply about any subject they might be studying.

The Roberto C. Goizueta Innovation Hub

Inside Hawkins Hall, Upper Schoolers become creators in The Roberto C. Goizueta Innovation Hub. Anchoring that space, The Roberto C. Goizueta Catalyst Lab is a place where students have the tools and faculty support to dream big and innovate. Students learn across the spectrum of design thinking, computing, coding, and more!
