Academics

As the Tech Lab evolves from year to year, the focus is always on creating an engaging learning environment where students are creators and not just consumers of technology. Throughout the year students will work individually, in partners, and in groups to better prepare them for a wide range of work environments. 

We will be working on skills in areas such as computer science, computer literacy, and engineering design. These skills will then be applied through project based learning experiences. Students are encouraged to be collaborative, creative, risk takers that are learning from mistakes while empowering them to develop perseverance.

"The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential." Steve Ballmer

At Momilani, technology is integrated throughout the school day and across all content areas in K-6. Students in grades K-2 will receive instruction in the classroom, while grades 3-6 will have visit the lab once a week. Our program uses standards from the newly adopted Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) Standards.

It is also important for us to provide students with opportunities to grow in areas such as creativity, problem solving, and perseverance.
