STE(A)M FACTORY

DELANO ACADEMY IS FUTURE PROOF

​

In a complex global economy, students need to acquire critical 21st-century competencies. The MakerSpace is our platform that facilitates learning of these essential skills. Delano Academy's STE(A)M factory is an incubator and accelerator for students to engage in iterative, critical thinking. Students learn that with complex problems and set-backs, they can reflect, problem solve, pivot and persevere. 

I AM A PROBLEM SOLVER

Everything is Figureoutable.

Things come apart in an effort to learn, understand and explore.

I AM A CREATOR

Logic will get you from A to B.

​

Imagination will take you everywhere.
