Innovation & Technology

Estefania Martinez, Innovation & Technology Coordinator

Sagemont Prep students are presented with innovative lessons and projects that increase student engagement, creativity, and collaboration from Pre-K through 12th grade. At Sagemont Prep, innovation means creating a learning environment that helps students engage with their teachers/peers and showcase their uniqueness. Both campuses do a phenomenal job of showcasing their innovative lessons in the classrooms alongside our robotics programs.

We partner with Code Ninjas at the Lower Campus, who facilitate our Innovation Lab courses. During Innovation Lab, students learn to code in a rigorous, safe, and inspiring learning environment with a game-based curriculum they love. Our Lower Campus also looks forward to expanding its current VEX curriculum to enhance the alignment with our Upper Campus Robotic Science Programs. Beyond science and engineering principles, VEX encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving among groups. It allows educators of all types to engage and inspire the S.T.E.M. problem solvers of tomorrow! The purpose of using this programming from Kinder until they transition to Upper School is to ensure our students can comprehend and utilize the VEX coding items and prepare them for the college level of coding. Using VEX curriculum allows students to envision a world where they have an opportunity to be inspired by the excitement of hands-on, minds-on STEM learning and the feeling of creating something with technology. Technology is continuously evolving, and our mission is to continue incorporating it and make it as innovative as possible.

At Sagemont Prep, we are already working on our elevated Innovation Hubs. Next year you will see an expansion within our VEX Robotics ecosystem, virtual reality, and artificial reality immersive learning programs across both campuses. We are so thankful for the Sagemont Prep Gala and all the generous donations received to make our vision happen! I am so very excited to see the future of our Innovation Hubs and the direction we are headed!
