The EMPACTS Lab affords students from a broad curriculum the opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial projects both in and out of a structured classroom setting.
The Maker Club is a student club that was created by EMPACTS Lab Technology students and includes students with a broad range of interests in design and technology.
The thing that all of the students have in common is a desire to explore ideas, as they develop new technologies, innovative applications for old technologies, and create products of their exploration.
