Creative Learning Lab (CLL)

What Is the Nativity Creative Learning Lab?

Our Creative Learning Lab teachers use STEAM tools and tactics to help K-8 students focus on how to be respectful collaborators, how to problem solve and trouble shoot with perseverance, and how to emphasize real world impact and opportunity.

Students learn about computer assisted design, design thinking models, 3D printing, various age appropriate engineering principles, tool safety, simple motors and gears, creative process, problem solving strategies, as well as the math behind Rubik’s cubes and other 3D puzzles.

But most importantly, we want our students to be fearless, life long learners so they are ready to face the challenges of our rapidly changing world. We inspire interest in STEAM subjects by empowering students to be curious and dream big dreams. We create opportunities that value critical thinking over procedure and memorization.

When students are engaged, they are better able to discover their talents and develop the mental resources they need to think critically. Learning is an iterative process and so by connecting with information learned earlier and continually updating it, and connecting it to new knowledge, we truly build a framework for a meaningful education.
