James Hart Celebrates SmartLab Ribbon Cutting

Written by Bill Laurienti

Congratulations to James Hart School of Homewood, IL!

They recently held their official SmartLab HQ ribbon cutting and more than 100 community members attended the event where students provided a program orientation and demonstrated their work.

We installed the James Hart SmartLab HQ this summer and it supports STEM programs for grades 6–8.

“This is where futures are created; where (students) find their passion,” said School Board President Shelly Marks.

He believes SmartLabs are important tools for engaging unengaged students and helping them access careers they might not otherwise have imagined.

Case Study

Going beyond STEM to teach essential skills

When the team at Jewell Houston Academy, a magnet school in Texas, looked for a STEM program, they wanted one that would not only engage students in STEM careers but could also teach conflict-resolution, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

Read about how the SmartLab HQ impacted both learners and enrollment.
