Bolton Academy’s K-5 STEM Innovation Lab opened its doors Thursday, bringing hands-on, future-ready learning to young minds. Designed to spark creativity and critical thinking, this dynamic space is the first of its kind in the area, according to Atlanta Public Schools. Packed with engaging tools—from drones and hydroponics to VR headsets and sewing machines—the lab empowers students to explore, experiment, and innovate. Its design was a true collaboration, shaped by students, parents, and teachers during the fall 2024 semester to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
