THE ROBOTICS & ENGINEERING LAB @ CATALYST

At SAACA we believe in the power of project based and hands on learning.  The Robotics & Engineering Lab at CATALYST will be a genuine space for innovation, creativity and collaborative learning. 

Builders, creators, innovators, designers, computer scientists, and tinkerers can use this space to teach technical skills alongside the maker mentality to the general public through fix-it clinics, 3D design and fabrication, and project-based workshops.

The Robotics & Engineering Lab will be a dynamic space for learning that will empower students of all ages, helping them to shift from being passive learners to active creators and innovators.  With over 1,000 square feet of collaborative space focused on innovation in science, technology, engineering, art and math grew, we fundamentally believe that creative problem solving, and learning will remain one of the most valuable skillsets into the future, teaching twenty-first-century skills. 

Opening late Fall 2019
