Why do we need a STEM Lab?

Computer science builds on computer literacy, educational technology, digital citizenship, and information technology. We want our students to experience computer science as a creative process. Following the California Computer Science standards, students need to move beyond the role of users of computing technology and advance towards becoming active creators and innovators, engaged with computer science as an artistic and collaborative process.

In the Lunada Bay STEM lab students will begin learning about computer science. The STEM lab will center on project-based learning to support communication and collaboration within research teams. We want to inspire critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation. These are all important skills students need to develop to thrive and be successful in the future.
