Innovation Center

The Laker Innovation Center is part of the district’s “Next Generation Bond”, which includes a $19.1 million bond for 25 years. A 1-mill sinking fund also helps pay for the equipment in the Innovation Center.

The Innovation Center is where imagination, experimentation, and creation flourish every school day. It is an open space where students dive into hands-on projects that develop skills in science, technology, engineering and math, among other academic areas. A variety of classes are conducted here, including Mechatronics, Geometry in Construction, 6th Grade Engineering and 6th Grade Design/Thinking, 7th Grade Computer Coding, and 7th Grade Robotics.

The goal of the Laker Innovation Center is to give students important skills needed by today’s businesses, such as problem solving, communication and working as part of a team. Lakers is working with local industry leaders to ensure students are getting the skills they’ll need to be successful in the workforce, no matter what career path they choose.
