Gadgets & Gizmos

We at Ivy Hawn are fortunate to have leadership that is truly enthusiastic about the future of our program. A STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) Program is multifaceted (as the name implies). A few weeks ago Mrs. Conway (our Principal) and I had the opportunity to attend the FETC conference in Orlano, it was phenomenal! It was at this conference we learned about moving toward paperless classrooms, 3D printing, the many ways to teach students coding, circuits and SO MUCH MORE! It was overwhelming, but all together an inspiring experience.

Our brand new 3D Printer

As of recently, the program has invested in a 3D Printer, Robots, Bloxels, and Little Bits (Oh My!).
