Franklin’s New Space Lab, Part 2: Information Based Education

Over the past half a decade, more and more schools in our district have been sending their students to space. The Space Labs reflect a STEAM mindset that encourages students to embrace technology in a way that takes them beyond entertainment into a world of hard work, leadership, cooperation, and education. 

Whether or not your students are in Franklin or another school with a Space Lab, the Space Lab Program reflects the District’s commitment to embracing emerging technologies and empowering students to learn in ways that engage them in a way that stimulates their imagination.

While each mission in the Space Lab utilizes an engaging atmosphere to grab students’ attention, the mechanics used at each level encourage students to utilize knowledge gained in the classroom.

Problems and subject matter are entered into the back end of the mission by the student’s teacher, which allows students to utilize their core curriculum to solve problems. In turn, it reports back to teachers with data taken from the students’ performance, allowing teachers to reach individual students’ needs and classroom trends.
