St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School opened a state of the art SmartLab on October 26, 2022. It is named after our former Pastor, Rev. Russ Mower. After years of determination, hard work and fundraising, our dream became our reality. SmartLab Learning gives students the tools to make decisions, solve problems, and manage complex tasks. The addition of the SmartLab offers a fun and engaging way for our students to grow in their love of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. This is one of the many reasons why our Saints excel academically amongst students of their same age. Please check out our Fr. Russ Mower SmartLab page for pictures and videos.
With SmartLab Learning’s student-led approach, learners choose projects they’re passionate about. Through self-reflection, learners connect what they’re doing to the math and science concepts they’re learning.
With SmartLab Learning, students learn to establish goals, creatively solve problems, complete projects on time, and share their accomplishments with their community—all essential skills for current and future success
With SmartLab Learning, personalized learning means: students choose a project they’re interested in; leverage their learning styles to experience it; and use self-reflection to construct new meaning based on their new experience and their background knowledge.
Engaged learners are intrinsically motivated. With SmartLab Learning, students get to explore their own interests at their own pace; as a result they stay on-task, use critical thinking, and achieve their personal and academic goals on a schedule that works for them.
With SmartLab Learning, learning paths and resources are individualized and relevance is paramount. Students are encouraged to shape their projects and explore ideas based on their personal interests and experiences.
SmartLab Learning’s project-based learning curriculum includes a scope and sequence that provides students with a vibrant mix of STEM-focused experiences—from scientific analysis to mechanics to communication skills and beyond.
