NEW FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2023/24
THE ANH INNOVATION LAB
Through the generous support of alumnae 和 friends, AHN is proud to introduce the new Innovation Lab. This project is the brainchild of former principal Michele Musto, 谁, as she has done for so many years, was thinking about what’s next 和 what’s best for the future of our students, the school, 和 the greater community.
现在, AHN has taken the first steps to making that dream a reality, procuring programmable robots, snap circuits, 和 the start of a makerspace. The Lab will be housed in the library 和 will be a space for students to come explore 和 create.
By providing our young women with these tools 和 educational technology needed to succeed in today’s world, they will be able to learn how to leverage them to be the builders of a better world.
As an extension of the Innovation Lab project, Holy Names will be launching “WAHN PantherVision,” a student-run live-streaming broadcasting program.
As part of the program, members of the Communications Club will live-stream our morning announcements from a small “studio” within the library/Innovation Lab space.
