Equipping Students with Tools, Resources, and Confidence

Written by Ann Sullivan

The team at St. Louis’ The Principia School recently introduced SmartLab Learning to their students, and graciously shared their perspectives with us:

By moving beyond textbooks and theory, investing in SmartLab HQ’s technology gives students a chance to succeed in an ever-changing, fast-moving environment while fostering essential skills such as communication, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. We’re equipping students with the tools, resources, and confidence to adapt to new technologies and ideas that push the world forward.

—Travis Brantingham, Head of School

The SmartLab HQ allows students to diversify their skills, so they’re better prepared to tackle 21st-century challenges. Investing in SmartLab HQ technology has been an incredible step forward for innovation at our school.

—Dr. Peter Dry, Assistant Head of School: Strategy and Innovation

The response to the new SmartLab HQs has been incredibly positive from students and faculty alike. Allowing students to apply their knowledge has a powerful, real-world connection for our students—this is the way forward in education.

—Tommie Traylor, STEM Facilitator and Integration Specialist
