Creativity Powered by Technology
At Gauldin, technology amplifies learning. It empowers students to think deeply, create boldly, and grow as leaders. With iPads as a tool for learning across all content areas, students engage in meaningful experiences that go far beyond consumption.
We are committed to developing learners who are not only prepared for the future but ready to shape it:
Creating Fearlessly
Students are given creative freedom to showcase their learning. All students are given opportunities to teach and present, within a culture that values leadership and creativity.
Innovating with Technology
Student curiosity leads to creative thinking and application of learning. Our innovative practices allow our staff and students to connect and link to the world around them.
Learning Beyond Limits
We are committed to providing spaces that empower students to spark creativity and deepen their thinking. Students have multiple opportunities to grow as student leaders, inspire others and feel valued.
Fearless Leaders
One of our goals at Gauldin is to empower our students to be leaders in their community and to share their technological knowledge and skills with other students, teachers and community members. Our Character Council and Tech Squad students create software tutorial videos for others and have even hosted assemblies for our TK through 2nd grade students to learn more about coding, resulting in more primary students wanting to explore and join the coding community.
Innovation Lab
Gauldin’s Innovation Lab is a place where creativity is powered by technology. The purpose of our Innovation Lab is to provide a space where students can create, explore, investigate, and build. These spaces have been designed to spark curiosity and inspire our students to engage in learning opportunities built around STEAM. Regular lab visits help students further develop the 21st-century skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
Learning opportunities our Innovation Labs include robotics, coding, computer programming, engineering design, Lego-design wall activities, broadcasting, creating music, and engineering and design utilizing 3D printing. Students are involved in inquiry and problem-solving based on relevant and engaging topics. Our fun and colorful Innovation Lab is a place to think outside the box and give our students voice and choice and enhance their learning!
