The Lincoln Academy Technology Education

Elementary STEM

Every high school class at The Lincoln Academy is required to design a lab or project in collaboration with an elementary class. Each year, high school scholars partner with younger scholars to build strong relationships and a sense of community. These projects and experiences range from air rocket labs and dinosaur digs in the Innovation Lab to toolbox fabrication in Construction courses. This experience is impactful for both elementary and high school scholars, providing meaningful, hands-on learning while reinforcing the school’s commitment to a unified, family-centered culture.
