Technology is an essential element of the STEM program and is present and in use in all STEM classrooms. Technology at LSHS is consistently in the hands of students in the form of desktop and laptop computers, tablets, data-collecting probes, and graphing calculators. As a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) school, LSHS offers students the opportunity to use their privately owned wireless and/or portable electronic hand held equipment that includes, but is not limited to, laptops, netbooks, smart phones, tablet computing devices, hand held entertainment systems, or other portable information technology systems that can be used for word processing, wireless Internet access, image capture/recording, sound recording and information transmitting/receiving/storing, etc.
Students additionally have the opportunity to become proficient on an astonishing array of technology uncommonly found in schools, including a Stratasys Uprint 3D Printer, Sprit LS Laser Cutter/Engraver, CNC Lathe and a CNC Mill.
They are introduced to robotics through both VEX and Lynx Motion. Students have access to a variety of precision software and interfaces, such as Autodesk Inventor CAD, PASCO, and Vernier, utilized in research universities and designed to emulate the work of industry professionals.
The science department is equipped with all standard technology, in addition to a Biosafety cabinet and fume hood, centrifuges, Nanospectrometer (for proteins and DNA analysis), Autoclave, Incubator, gel electrophoresis apparatus, Evotec equipment (PCR) Polymerase Chain Reaction, and a variety of PASCO probeware, temperature software, sensors and interfaces.
Additionally, LSHS STEM participants have the opportunity through the Science & Engineering Fair and internships to experience field specific technology as they work in the community to fulfill STEM requirements and prepare for entrance into elite colleges and professions.
