Vision
Empower APS students through transformative and innovative STE(A)M experiences that ignite curiosity, develops 21st Century skills and cultivates a lifelong love for learning.
The Verizon Innovative Learning Lab program, developed in collaboration with the nonprofit Heart of America and the J.

The curriculum, custom-designed by ASU, centers on design thinking and real-world problem-solving, while ongoing teacher training ensures each lab remains a sustainable, evolving space for innovation.
Select students visit the STEAM Lab on a weekly basis, in addition to school-wide lessons taught by Sylvan STEAM Specialist, Mr. J. Lee.
