Aerial and virtual reality, coding, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence, according to Darrin Brozene, principal of Baltimore Design School, are just a few of the new technological disciplines that will be covered in the new lab. The lab is partially funded by Verizon's innovative learning program, which provides students with access to cutting-edge technology. School officials staged a ribbon cutting event to celebrate it on Thursday, April 21st, 2022. According to Tina Hike-Hubbard, Baltimore City Schools' chief of communication and enrollment, this will allow kids to innovate in a variety of technological areas.
“Today’s world… It’s changing all the time and there’s new technology. Not only will they be learning the technology but they are going to be learning the skills that are going to be so important, the critical thinking skills, the design skills,” Brozene said. This is the city's fourth lab of its sort, where both students and employees may benefit from the latest technology. Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle School, Graceland Park/O'Donnell Heights Elementary/Middle School, and Holabird Academy are among the other schools. Access to cutting-edge technology, according to Baltimore City school authorities, will help pupils better prepare for the digital world of the future.
At the lab, students can use augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technology, 3D printers, robotics kits, and PCs. Teachers are also trained on a curriculum designed by Arizona State University's J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute. The information will not be restricted to the lab, but will pervade the entire school, since all of the instructors will be involved in the curriculum.
