Introducing Our New CERES Lab at Linden!

We are delighted to announce our new Coding, Engineering, Robotics, Electronics, Science (CERES) Lab, which is being initiated by STEM teacher Beth Alexander. In keeping with our emphasis on interdisciplinary teaching, the lab will focus on integrating coding, engineering, robotics, electronics, and science, and will be housed on the first floor, while the main senior science lab will remain on the third floor.

The new lab aims to:

• Develop advanced coding and engineering skills in girls from the early years at Linden
• Empower girls to see themselves as creators of technology, and not just its consumers
• Promote critical thinking and creative skills by focused engagement in the technological design process
• Connect coding, design, and engineering to issues of social justice by empowering girls to use these skills to solve problems in the world
• Develop practical skills in safe woodworking, electronics, and robotics
• Encourage girls to pursue STEM and ICT at secondary and post-secondary levels
• Integrate engineering with science, math, and computer studies
