“Make no mistake, this technology initiative is a game changer!” — Matt Boland, AEC marketing & communications director

tartup education is a new frontier, and the Incubator School is one of its pioneers. The Adelson Educational Campus, in the Hills community of Summerlin, recently announced the design and construction of a 5,000-square-foot, state-of-theart inventors workspace – a Startup Incubator – offering a nextgeneration learning and creating experience. When it opens in September, following an August ribbon cutting, teachers and students will have access to a facility that enables project exploration, collaboration and implementation. Expect forays into green technologies, 3D-printed textiles for fashion,
entertainment engineering, architectural blueprints and models, mobile apps and websites, wearable/home electronics, claymation and animation, digital photography and video, and space and medical inventions. “The technology initiative is not about the gadgetry,” says Steve Mack, who with his wife Dawn is the primary benefactor and visionary behind the school. “It’s about providing the tools and opportunity for our children to create things that will change the world. Children from day one utilize technology, and we have the opportunity right now to provide an overwhelming impact on future innovators.
