(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)
Our elementary school curriculum incorporates the important skills of inquiry, collaboration, and problem solving through regular science labs that focus on S.T.E.A.M. activities such as engineering design challenges. This process involves finding a problem, planning and constructing, testing, improving (redesigning), and communicating, and is explored through roller coaster construction, woodworking, building catapults, designing basic 3D rectangular pyramids, and more.
The secondary school Technical Theater program offers students a comprehensive, hands-on experience producing, designing, constructing, and stage managing. Through our Theater Technology and Stage Design electives, students study these crafts and can apply them as student designers for the secondary fall dramas, spring musicals, dance productions, etc. Each production’s scenic, lighting, prop, sound, hair, and makeup elements are designed entirely by our students.

The secondary school the Engineering Research Projects course is centered on a single, semester-long project in which students go through multiple iterations of the engineering design cycle (design, prototype, test, repeat). Students work in small groups and keep engineering notebooks throughout the course of the semester. At the conclusion of the semester, they write a paper and present their findings, which could possibly be published. Throughout the semester students learn more in-depth engineering concepts and methods for evaluating or testing their project. Jayson Marshall ‘16 and Gilbert Chung ’16 created custom golf club grips using 3D scanning and 3D printing to perfectly customize the grip of a golf club to fit a person’s hand.
”As an engineering student at Campbell Hall, I have learned about engineering on an educational and professional level and have been given the skills necessary to succeed at a higher degree.” —Jayson Marshall ‘16.
“This was one of the most fun teaching experiences I’ve had in my career. It was a pleasure to work with such a phenomenal group of students and to watch as their projects progressed from the conceptual phase to a finished prototype. What they ended up doing over the course of a single semester is so impressive!” said Greg Williams, engineering teacher.
