Welcome! Learning is different here!
About Us
The DIS and DUES campus installed a brand new STEM lab in November of 2018, and it has quickly become a favorite among all students on campus. In the SmartLab students take charge of their learning in multiple areas of study including coding, robotics, engineering, scientific data and analysis, computer graphics, animation, energy production, 3D printing, video game design, and much more! We welcome you to stop by and see the amazing work that our students are engaging in each and every day!
