NeXus Lab - Our Facility
Collaboration Space
Our space is perfect for independent or collaborative work. The space will comfortably fit 25-30 individuals in the main collaboration space, and another 25-30 individuals in the classroom.
Robotics and Electronics
Learn to build a robot with LEGO Mindstorms, LEGO SPIKE Prime, and or VEX to perform complex tasks and to solve problems. We also have Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards and kits to get you started on your first electronics project. We also have LittleBits, and other electronic equipment.
Design Lab
Our Design Lab provides high-end design computers with software for 3D and 2D design. Students can design their invention, and then send it to our 3D printers for prototyping.
Classroom Space
Connected to our Collaboration Space is our Classroom space. This space will comfortably fit 25-30 individuals. This space is primarily used our Project Lead the Way-Gateway program which focuses on engineering and technology instruction, however, the space is flexible for other needs.
Digital Fablab
Our Digital Fablab is home to several 3D printers to support prototyping and creative projects. It also features a Laser Cutter, Vacuum Former, Carvey CNC Machine, and Cricut machine.
Video and Audio Recording
A green screen space with video and audio recording equipment. We also plan to add a NexGen podcast.
