STEAM at Foxcroft

Inspiring Girls to Pursue 21st-Century Skills

In today’s world, the STEAM subjects of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics are critical. At Foxcroft, they are also fun.

你可能会在3D打印机上设计和组装一只假手,或者在教别人如何编程的同时提高你的计算机技能. 戴上安全帽,看看工程师、建筑师和承包商是如何建造新宿舍的. 将您对生物学的热爱与摄影结合起来,在樱花下进行青色实验.

Leonardo da Vinci said that to have a complete mind, you must: “Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses — especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” 这种威尼斯彩票游戏和实验的感觉使跨学科的学习变得生动起来, which we see regularly in our learning spaces, teaching practices, course offerings, and after school programming.

我已经获得了工程和设计方面的实践经验,并且在别人面前发言变得更加自如. While we are actively learning and having fun, 我们可以把我们的帮助延伸到其他人,这样他们就可以从我们的创造中受益.

— Belle C., Class of 2024

3D Printing with a Purpose

In the 2023-24 school year, 学生们有机会参加一门有意义的3D设计和制造课程. Using the 3D printer in The Innovation Lab, 他们为上肢不同的人打印和组装假手. Students learned how these devices, designed by e-NABLE, 是否可以针对个人接受者进行个性化,并作为一种比传统医疗设备更容易获得的授权工具使用.
