Homewood School Board Approves SmartLab HQ

Written by Bill Laurienti

Congratulations to Hart School in Illinois’ Homewood District 153 as their Board just approved a brand new SmartLab HQ.

Board President Shelley Marks said, “I’ve never been so excited about anything we’ve ever decided to do. It offers a whole new level of engagement.”

To evaluate this investment, a district delegation visited several SmartLab HQs in the Chicago area.

Marks said District 153 representatives were very impressed by how students “took responsibility for learning” through collaboration, communication and coding—all skills typically used in the workplace.
