Our Innovation Lab is unique. Our Innovation Lab acts as a classroom, a lab, and a makerspace. St. Paul Catholic School uses the Innovation lab to extend and enrich classroom learning by incorporating STREAM strategies into the basic curriculum. The Innovation Lab is also a laboratory where students can develop and monitor special-interest long-term experiments and projects. Finally, the Innovation Lab serves as a makerspace for students to individually or collaboratively design, build, create, and realize their talents in engineering, art, and design.
