Johns Hopkins helps launch computer, engineering lab in Baltimore elementary/middle school

The Johns Hopkins University and Baltimore City Public Schools have partnered to create the city's first pre-K through eighth grade school dedicated to giving students a foundation in engineering and computer skills.

Every class at the Barclay Elementary/Middle School—not just science and math but also reading, social studies, and even art—will feature elements of engineering and computer science, using a curriculum supported by educators at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. And every student has access to a new laboratory, co-founded by city schools and the university, that is outfitted with cutting-edge technology including 3D printers, custom-programmed computers, smartboards, and a makerspace where students can design and build.
