The Amicus Foundation Innovation Space

Teaching Tech
Skills and Mindset

Our Innovation Space is designed to foster critical thinking and creativity through cutting-edge technology and hands-on learning. Students are immersed in a dynamic environment where they can explore and enhance their abilities in computer programming, robotics, and 3D computer modeling. Here, young innovators develop essential skills.

Today’s students will someday use technology that doesn’t yet exist. The Amicus Foundation Innovation Space helps them develop critical thinking skills, promoting openness, shared experiences, collaboration and rapid development from ideas to physical creations. Our students design, experiment, build and invent, engaging deeply in science, mathematics, engineering and self-expression. They enjoy resources including iPad Pro’s with Apple pencils, several 3D printers and laser cutters, microcontrollers, fabrication technology, video production, as well as an assortment of recycled materials to spark their imaginations. Using their laptops or iPads, students run a variety of programs and Apps, which allow for 3D design, digital animation to object-based computer programming.
