With touch screen technology in every classroom and Chrome Books for every student, lessons come to life through the integration of digital and in person activities. Students have access to a 30 seat state of the art computer lab equipped with industry standard CAD, Coding and Design software. Film Production classes access an 11 seat editing suite geared to replicate a professional workspace. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The aptly named <em><strong>STA Innovation Center</strong></em> takes STEM to the next level. This second floor facility offers a hub of opportunities for  design, development, construction and experimentation in all areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It provides teachers and students with state-of-the-art technology in the most ideal collaborative learning environments.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>The Anatomage Table</strong></em> is touch-sensitive technology, that projects full-length views of a human cadaver and it's muscular, skeletal, nervous, digestive and pulmonary systems. The table assembles 2,000 3D images to show layers and slices of various tissues. Students can view a cross-section of a muscle, organ or other structure.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Among the Anatomage software are images of a liver distended by cancer, an ACL knee injury, an ectopic pregnancy, a stab wound, and a stent placed in an artery. Students can trace the flow of blood from the heart into the lungs.
