Our News Corner

  Dear Parents,

   Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! We are so excited to showcase our new iMac STEAM lab. This will be the 2nd year implementing a STEAM Lab Computer science at PS 14 where Grades 1-5 take part in Science, Technology, through Engineering, math and the  Arts. In addition, we will be showcasing our own Maker Spaces in the Computer Labs. Maker Spaces promote creative thinking, problem solving and collaboration. I truly believe that technology is a vital part of today’s society and that it is important for students of all ages to learn to use it both creatively and safely. This year, students will learn not only 21st century skills to make them successful both in and out of school.  The tools they are learning with STEAM will provide them with real world skills to do great things after high schools.    In order to meet Common Core Standards, students will also use technology as a tool to: read, research educational websites, learn basic computer skills, problem solve, write to create and publish a variety of projects and presentations.  With that they will plan, design and collaborate with their peers.   So we look forward to the coming months where students will learn computer science with Coding programs and  Engineering with Robotics applications.   Our students will be ready!   =)
