福克斯克罗夫特的蒸汽
激励女孩追求21世纪的技能
在当今世界, 科学的STEAM科目, technology, engineering, art, 数学是至关重要的. 在福克斯克罗夫特,他们也很有趣.
You might design and assemble a prosthetic hand on the 3D printer or improve your computer skills while teaching others how to code. Put on a hard hat and see how engineers, architects, and contractors build a new dorm. Combine your love of biology with photography with a cyanotype experiment below the cherry blossoms.
列奥纳多·达·芬奇说,要拥有一个完整的头脑,你必须: “学习艺术科学. 学习科学的艺术. 发展你的感官,尤其是学习如何去看. 意识到每件事都是相互联系的.” That sense of discovery and experimentation brings interdisciplinary learning to life, 我们在学习空间中经常看到的, 教学实践, 课程, 课后节目.
I’ve gained hands-on experience with engineering and design and become more comfortable speaking up in front of others. 当我们积极地学习和享受乐趣的时候, we can extend our help to others so that they may benefit from our creations.

有目的的3D打印
在2023- 2024学年, students had the opportunity to take a course dedicated to 3D design and fabrication with a meaningful purpose. 使用创新实验室的3D打印机, they printed and assembled prosthetic hands for individuals with upper limb differences. 学生们学习了这些设备, 由e-NABLE设计, can be personalized to individual recipients and used as an empowering tool that is more readily available than traditional medical devices.
