The PTO is still looking for some individuals to step up and volunteer on the PTO board or to chair the carnival and fundraiser. Joining the PTO is a great way to get involved and give back to the school. Please email us for more information at [email protected] or come to the next PTO meeting for more information. 

PTO Pays Back

The PTO gives 100% of the donated funds we receive back to the school. Recently our funds have been used to pay for the buses for field trips for the students.

INNOVATION ACADEMY

Hey, innovators! We’re looking for students who are risk-takers, thinkers,  curious, persistent, creative, and interdependent. Join us at Innovation Academy for a two weeks of design thinking, inquiry-based learning, and lots and lots of prototyping, where you’ll have tons of fun as we find solutions to problems with food, transportation and buildings. We’ll use the human-centered process Design Thinking to uncover needs, brainstorm ideas, and bring some of those ideas to life!  Check out this link for more information or to register! Registration is open now!

STEM NIGHT

Step into STEM this May at the Innovation Center!  You’re invited to celebrate STEM at the Innovation Center on Tuesday, May 9, from 4:30-6:30.  We’ll have STEM Stations, Parent Tech Talks, Rosie the Tarantula visiting from the Butterfly Pavilion, the Mobile Innovation Lab, UC Health and more! More information can be found at Design Guild/STEM Fair

STUDENT DESIGN GUILD

Does your child constantly seek out solutions to problems they encounter?  Are they always designing, brainstorming, building and prototyping?  Consider having your child enter the Student Design Guild where they can share and showcase their prototype of a problem they want to solve.  At this year’s Design Guild, students can use Design Thinking, a human-centered, problem-seeking, problem-solving approach, to finding answers for many of the world’s issues.

IC SUMMER CAMPS

The Innovation Center is excited to hold summer camps that offer innovative, hands-on learning experiences that engage and challenge students and incorporate human-centered design thinking.  Registration is open! Learn more about Innovation Center Summer Camps here.
