The B.E.S.T. Academy at the Thomas W. Dortch, Jr. Institute is the latest Atlanta Public Schools (APS) campus to cut the ribbon for its Verizon Innovative Learning Lab. Through APS’ partnership with Verizon, the students now have a dedicated space where they can explore new technologies that will help them prepare for the future. B.E.S.T. students, already familiar with the new technology, displayed their aptitude to utilize their new devices for guests at the celebratory ribbon-cutting. The new learning space not only provides new tools for virtual reality, augmented reality, coding, and 3-D printing, but also presents opportunities for students to apply their curiosities, test hypotheses, and potentially discover future solutions.
