Collaboratory

What is the Collaboratory?

Formerly the Lower School computer lab, the Falcon Collaboratory is a space with loads of flexibility.  It functions as a classroom where students interact with technology and each other via iPads with open-ended, creative apps that stretch student learning. A LEGO wall offers opportunities for students to imagine and build with LEGOs to solve a posted challenge. And there's even a green screen that can be lowered so students can create audio/visual projects. It also serves as a meeting space for both faculty and student groups as well as Tinker Tuesdays and Thursdays, Too!

STEM/STEAM Activities

​Many of the activities that are done in the Collaboratory are focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.  Whether it's using computer science apps to learn to think like a programmer, learning to make and control various robots, or building with Magformers, Keva Planks, LEGOs and more, students learn the importance of teamwork and perseverance.
