West Campus Case for Support ยท 15 Design Studio The West Campus Design Studio is a dynamic learning environment where innovation meets exploration. Students will build on the current STEAM curriculum using this flexible and purpose-built studio specifically for design thinking and creative problem solving. The space will have versatile workstations, extensive whiteboard surfaces, and communal tables for collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning. Students will also put theory into practice with access to tools like 3D printers and laser cutters for hands-on experience in rapid prototyping. The studio is more than a classroom; it's a launchpad for applied science. Students from Grade 2 onward will use the studio to immerse themselves in practical engineering, robotics, and mathematics applications. They will use design thinking and creative problem solving to prototype and test their ideas. Students will also use these spaces to expand their understanding of sustainability and environmental science. Lessons exploring the mechanical and natural world will come to life in this dedicated STEAM studio so students can think big and build. "The new West Campus Design Studio will expand opportunities for hands- on STEAM education. This purpose-built space will support physical and digital prototyping as students apply the design cycle trying to solve real-world problems." BOB TARLE Executive Director, Innovation and Technology
