Station Labs Benefits

  • Student-Led

    The station labs have been created to be student-led. Students will take ownership of the new content in ways which will increase their engagement.

  • Increased Content Retention

    Students are presented similar content through a variety of mediums which allows them to retain and understand more of the information.

  • Plug and Play + Distance Learning

    The station labs use a framework that is easy to set up so that students can focus on what to learn rather than what to do. Easy prep! The station labs also include distance learning options to use with platforms such as Google Classroom.
