VDR Creative Sciences & Arts Magnet School features an innovative Pre-K – 2nd grade STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math) program. The school’s SmartLab allows students in all grades to engage in digital communications, mechanics and structures, robotics, software engineering, 3D printing, sustainability, and more. Our newest campus addition is our Makerspace which provides students with exciting, hands-on opportunities to think critically, solve problems, and bring their ideas to life. Using a variety of building materials, engineering kits, technology, and creative tools, students engage in the Engineering Design Process to design, build, test, and improve solutions to real-world challenges. Through collaboration, innovation, and exploration, students develop creativity, perseverance, and the problem-solving skills needed for future success.
