Video production teacher Carla Cipro speaks with students at Bellefonte Area High School who plan to use the IDEA Hub to enhance ideas they created in teacher Ryan Myers' business class.

Michelle Saylor, superintendent at Bellefonte Area School District, addressed guests at the IDEA Hub launch event. Saying it's a space for "collaboration, innovation and networking," the IDEA Hub is also a place that provides learning opportunities for brainstorming, testing new ideas, engaging in design thinking and expanding classroom learning. It also provides services that extend beyond Centre County as part of the STEM and STEAM ecosystem known as Engine of Central Pennsylvania.
