Problem
Traditional classrooms and school layouts often create barriers for interdisciplinary learning. Increasingly, authentic and relevant pedagogy and curriculum look for ways to get away from segregated subjects.
Solution
The Da Vinci Studio is an agile classroom to accommodate any kind of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) program. Element of a good Da Vinci Studio includes connections to outside, connection to a Learning Commons with visual transparency, a covered project yard, and sinks that serve both art and science.
