Parents and Residents Enjoy Touring Chagrin Falls New Innovation Center
On October 7th, the community was invited to an Open House at the new Chagrin Falls Schools’ Innovation Center. Students were eager to show parents and residents the new Research Center – a connect space for research, idea creation and study, as well as the Collaboration Classroom – a place for group discussion and interaction, with the use of technology to connect beyond the borders of Chagrin Falls. The Fab Lab was a favorite room for those taking a tour as they saw first-hand a makerspace to bring the students’ ideas to life with 3D printers, embroidery machines, laser cutters, tools and more.
“Chagrin Falls is fortunate to have a bright, engaged student body who will benefit from this unique space, and a faculty who is eager to employ new methods of teaching,” said Meg Nachtwey, president of the Chagrin Falls Educational Foundation and chairperson of the Innovation Center committee. “This space now supports teachers and students in all disciplines to research, collaborate and create in groups — deepening the learning experience.”
