Mount Barker High School STEM Works Redevelopment was officially opened today by Mr Dan Cregan MP member for Kavel. The new STEM facility comprises of three focus zones including a new making/advanced technology area for robotics, aviation, electronics, design and agricultural science which link into a central collaborative space with distinctive treatments to create ‘The Green’, a reference to the rolling hills of Mt Barker and an attempt to bring the ‘outside in’.

The modification of the science laboratory has been opened up to other spaces for collaborative learning. There are strong links between all zones to a maker space area for 3D printing, laser cutting and exploration.

The teacher preparation space was  designed to include an area for collaboration with students in addition to the quiet meeting/collaboration spaces.
