Our Programs
Innovation Academy West provides students with a maker space. This space that expands on STEAM topics. It creates real problem-solving opportunities and the life skill that “Failure is part of the process.” A natural part of solving a problem is trying something that does not work. Kids working on projects in makerspaces can work on these skills in a safe environment.
Innovation Academy West’s maker space includes tools from Makey, Makey®; Sphero®, Cricut™ and more.
