Ciongoli Center for Innovation (CCI)

Sam & Eli participated in the 2026 @nuvustudio Student Summit: nuvux.nuvustudio.com/student-summit… They had a blast working on design challenges and making new friends with students from the @nuvu_x network. #makerspace #makered #innovate #designthinking #networking

7th-Grade "Environmental Justice" Mid Reviews are happening in the Wheeler Library, and students are receiving some great feedback on their project ideas. #makered #makerspace #innovation #pbl #projectbasedlearning #handsonlearning #environmentaljustice

The 7th-grade cross-curricular "Environmental Justice" studio is off to a solid start! The iterative design process in the CCI is well underway, and we are looking forward to feedback during Mid Reviews on Friday! #makered #makerspace #projectbasedlearning #PBL #handsonlearning

Nico got the 3D-printed robotic hand up and running today, just in time for "Cyborg Enhancements" Final Presentations on Monday! 🤖 youtu.be/ad3Sw1A4Wbg?si… #makered #makerspace #robotics #arduino #electronics #learntocode #innovation #projectbasedlearning

Mr. Banister @dbanister and Ms. Maiurano @lwmaiurano are introducing the Wearable Games studio to our Middle Makers students this week - always a fan favorite! #makered #makerspace #designthinking #designchallenge #prototype #innovation #creativity #handsonlearning

The 4th graders delivered a giant thank you card for Ms. Maiurano for all her hard work in making the American Revolution projects come to life! #makered @makerspace #designthinking #projectbasedlearning #pbl #historybroughttolife #handsonlearning

Mr. Minehart wants to remind everyone that safety comes first! #makered #makerspace #safteyfirst #protectiveeyewarematters

Bio Birthday Buddies! 👍 🎂🎈#biobirthdaybuddies #certifiesillygeese 📷: via @cdanzi613

The first print on the @eufyMake UV printer came out very nicely. Thanks to @johnsonedward for helping to set it up. We are looking forward to seeing how our students will take advantage of this cool new tool! #makered #makerspace #designthinking #innovation #design #pbl #create

Busy day/week/month in the CCI. We had several groups participating in Mid Reviews and Finals including the ELL students presenting on their Lower School US Geography games. 🇺🇸 #makered #makerspace #projectbasedlearning #handsonlearning #PBL #publicspeaking

Mandarin students presented their final projects for the "Lunar New Year" studio in the Wheeler Library today. 🎆🌙 #makered #makerspace #languagelearning #projectbasedlearning #pbl #culturallearning

Nico is building a 3D printed robotic hand for the 6th Grade "Cyborg Enhancements" studio and he is making great progress! #makered #makerspace #engineering #robotics #projectbasedlearning #handsonlearning #arduino #learntocode #designthinking

@cdanzi613 approves the making of this meme! 👌😂

Wally the drawing robot continues to brighten the Upper School hallway with inspirational messages and practical reminders. Thanks to Mr. J @johnsonedward and Mr. D @cdanzi613 for this week's important reminder. 😂 #makered #makerspace #diy #wally #engineering #robotics #coding

A cool opportunity for maker-minded students from @crunchlabs (via our pal @ScienceBob): crunchlabsacademy.com #makered #designthinking #engineering #handsonlearning #makecoolstuff #innovation #makelearningfun #science

@Dr_LeDune He did indeed!

@FessyiLab Did he make that in the lab?

Noah's surfboard build is coming along nicely! 🏄🌊 #makered #makerspace #surfcraftclub #handsonlearning #hangten
