The [C.O.]LAB IS OPEN!

The most advanced STEAM space in Bergen County

The Ho-Ho-Kus Education Foundation is pleased to announce the latest in STEAM workplaces right here in the Ho-Ho-Kus School.  Our goal is to support excellence in the classroom for every type of learner, and by doing so, engage the mind, foster confidence, and further open the door of possibility.

Surrounding communities, including around the Northern Highlands consortium, have built spaces and hired faculty to advance STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education. As a result of your generosity, the Ho-Ho-Kus Education Foundation provided the same set of opportunities to our entire student population, ensuring that our ninth graders enter the regional high school system having developed a skill set that is consistent with that of their peers.

As the hub and the future of the school STEAM curriculum, the [C.O.]Lab promotes “Creative Opportunities” for learners of all ages and interests.  The space features:

• Dedicated areas and carefully-selected furnishings to encourage a variety of learning modalities and methods of interaction, particularly peer-group collaboration. 

• Multiple sketch/white board surfaces

• Booth seating 

• Flexible modern furniture

• Tackable Wall Space 

• Egg Chairs 

• Accessible technology that integrates seamlessly into a creative process 

The Ho-Ho-Kus Education Foundation donated all of the funds necessary to complete the STEAM Lab at the Ho-Ho-Kus School. The Ed Foundation is pleased to fund such a worthwhile project that will enhance the educational program for the children of our community.
