The makerspace is primarily for the upper school, but the lower and middle schools have what Deisley called “innovation labs” with lower-level equipment such as Legos.
All this equipment will further develop Lovett’s computer science program, and the makerspace’s emphasis on design combines disciplines such as science, math and art for an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving.
“We are eager to have our individual disciplines like science and math and the technology tracks have opportunities to come together in project-based learning,” said Deisley. “It allows [students] to exercise their creativity and imagination as well as a different means of problem solving.”
Lovett is a private school for kindergarten through 12th grade, located on Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta.
