New D-Lab is a Maker's Dream Space
Mayfield Junior School is committed to providing the best learning environment and resources for today’s student. This summer a classroom has undergone an “innovation renovation” to become a center for design thinking and constructivist learning – the MJS D-Lab. The D-Lab is multi-functional, flexible space designed to encourage, supply and display student creativity. With writable walls, industrial lighting, adjustable furniture, durable flooring and easily accessible power supplies- the D-Lab is a maker’s dream equipped for multiple types of projects. Within the workspace a curated collection of tools and materials, from advanced laser cutters, 3D printers and a touch-enabled interactive projector to power tools, sewing machines, textiles, hammers and presses, will allow students to experiment, develop new skills and follow a passion.
The D-Lab is a defined space for all grade levels (K-8) to tinker and create while enhancing the current academic program. Teachers have seen how hands-on, authentic learning experiences, embraced over the last few years, promote creativity, collaboration and problem solving. The D-Lab will stimulate imagination and provide real experiences for students to gain the skills and confidence necessary to navigate future challenges.
