A LIFE scholar is WELL-READ
You must study to have something to say. Books open doors and allow you to have something valuable to contribute to any conversation.
A LIFE scholar is WELL-TRAVELED
You will be exposed to other cultures, people and places, and learn to celebrate diversity to ensure that everyone is respected, accepted, and appreciated. Seeing the world outside of your own community opens your eyes to a world of possibilities.
A LIFE Scholar is WELL-SPOKEN
You will develop verbal and written abilities to communicate with precision, grace, confidence, and style. You will be inclusive of an academic community that ignites a passion for learning and inspires habits of critical thinking, collaboration, and self-discipline.
A LIFE scholar Is WELL-DRESSED
You must model success and represent what is possible. When you enter the public, as a LIFE scholar, your attire should be representative of a future decision maker, servant leader, and KING.
A LIFE Scholar Is WELL-BALANCED
You will be taught to possess healthy minds that reside in healthy bodies governed by healthy values.
A LIFE scholar Is WELL-CONNECTED
You will be working in collaboration with other brothers, learning as much from each other as in the classroom. As an institutional ideal, brotherhood extends to all students, faculty, and staff. This is evidenced by the way we work and learn together and how we challenge and support each other. The goal is to achieve our most important objective, which is the making of a well-rounded man.
A LIFE scholar is WELL-LED
Faculty and staff will model success by representing what is possible, provide access to resources as a conduit of information and knowledge, facilitate opportunities by serving as a reference and means to possibility, and inspire minds to create a burning desire to achieve in LIFE.
THE CROWN OF LIFE
LIFE STEAM Saturdays
at Carnegie Science Center
LIFE Male STEAM Academy joins the Carnegie Science Center to offer LIFE STEAM Saturdays for 6th – 8th grade male students. Students will meet at the Carnegie Science Center two Saturdays a month from 9 to 11 am for sixteen enrichment sessions. The students become certified in the use of all the equipment in the Fab Lab and will have a portfolio of all of their projects at the completion of the program.
Carnegie Science Center’s Fab Lab is a digital makerspace for innovation and invention.
Fab Lab Carnegie Science Center thoughtfully integrates STEM competencies into authentic making experiences. Students not only learn about the cool technologies of Fab Lab, but they practice collaborative design, decision making, critical thinking skills, prototyping, resource
153 management, creative problem solving, and many more 21 st Century skills.
The project-based learning workshops offered at Fab Lab Carnegie Science Center offers students the unique opportunity to practice the iterative design cycle. Using rapid prototyping technologies, students engage in designing, prototyping, testing, and then redesigning and testing yet again. This incremental improvement cycle is an important part of the engineering process.
Students deeply engage in creative design to solve challenges through Fab Lab workshops. This intrinsic motivation leads them to research and explore new solutions, and they use their newfound concepts to improve their designs.
Through the instant hands-on implementation of learned concepts, students more readily retain the new knowledge and are often eager to learn more!
Included in the lab (both on-site and mobile):
-
- 3D Printers
- Laser Cutters
- Computers and Software
- ShopBot CNC milling machines
- Electronics workbench equipment, including robotics
- Mini-mill/3D scanner
- Sewing/embroidery machines

LIFE STEAM Saturdays is designed for male students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. The students will become certified in the use of all the equipment in the Fab Lab at Carnegie Science Center and will have a portfolio of all of their project at the completion of the program.
Throughout the program, participants would learn how to use both the software and hardware of the Fab Lab through the completion of hands-on projects focused on engineering, design, and digital fabrication. Example projects may include The Quadcopter Challenge (students design, build, and test remote-controlled drones) and Spheros Mars Rover (students design, build, and program roving Mars explorer vehicles)
