IU8

The IU8 lending center has myriad STEM-related instructional tools and equipment for all classrooms. The equipment encourages a student-centered approach to learning that promotes curiosity, creativity, artistic expression, collaboration, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and design thinking. These resources have been purchased for IU8 districts and libraries through our partnerships with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, UPMC, and CSB2 Ecosystem (funded by PAsmart Advancing Grant). These tools and resources are a great complement to any classroom to help create STEM fluent and STEM skilled citizens.

  • Launched our Foundation!

    Every student in our four counties deserves unique learning opportunities. We're poised to offer these but need a little financial boost!

    Examples include local day camps, teenagers learning how to fly drones, and teacher-staffed activity tents at local public events.
