XB CREATIVITY LAB: $150,000
ugmented Reality, 3D printers, and robotics...Xaverian’s Creativity
Lab will have that and more. This will be the place for all Xaverian
students to test their imagination and their skill. Theology classes will
take AR tours of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, digital design students will
laser cut their masterpieces, and physics students will build their bridges
using 3D printing, instead of using straws.
The XB Creativity Lab will be a resource for all grades, and its
applications will span across the curriculum, from the arts to science and
everything in between. It’s time to give our students the tools to think
outside the box, so they can get hands-on, real-world experience with
equipment they’ll likely encounter in future careers.
“The Creativity Lab will provide a much-needed
area for our students to challenge themselves,
and one another, to go beyond the walls of
theoretical engineering and design in order to
create from their own imagination. This hands-
on, innovation center has the potential to be
the hub of experiential, authentic learning at
the school.”
-Dr. Bryan Dunn, Science Department Chairperson
ARTS CURRICULUM:
$150,000
e’re investing in the arts, and it’s not just for show.
We want to put an instrument in every young man’s
hands, and inspire undiscovered passion for design,
photography, cartooning, architecture, and more. The arts are
not only a confidence builder for a young man, but art can
strengthen every facet of a Xaverian education. Participation
in the arts can help students improve academic performance,
help them grow socially and emotionally, think more critically,
and be more innovative and collaborative. Art helps to build a
wide range of higher-order thinking skills, the skills required
for effective leadership. At Xaverian, every student participates
in arts education as they learn that an appreciation for the arts
is an important component of being strong young men. But we
know that an introduction isn’t enough...we want to give our
students ample opportunities to explore all aspects of fine and
performing arts.
“Art allows you to look at things from
different perspectives. It teaches us how
to observe the world around us and use
our experiences to create something we
can be proud of.”
