Innovation Centers
Mission Statement
Transformative Learning Experiences, Mentoring & Academic Support
The Innovation Centers—comprised of the STEM Innovation Center, Business Innovation
Center/Makerspace, and Literacy Innovation Center—are dedicated to enhancing student
academic success, experiential learning, and professional readiness. Through mentorship,
hands-on projects, and skill-building programs, we strive to bridge the gap between
classroom learning and real-world application. The Innovation Centers were funded
by the Department of Education HSI Title V funding (P031S200174).

Building the future, one piece at a time.
The Makerspace Lab is a space perfect for creative thinkers with innovative ideas that can be brought to life. Our current Dremel 3D printers are available for building physical models designed for all types of projects. The SOL 3D Scanner uses high-quality precision and detail to copy small physical items that can be printed into 3D models. Do you want a more hands-on experience? The MYNT3D Printing Pen “Pro” gives you all the control at your fingertips that will turn your ordinary drawings into 3D works of art!
