Middle school Latin students use innovation lab to create Roman clothing

Late last month, several middle school Latin students went to work at the campus’ new innovation lab, creating clothing similar to that worn in ancient Rome. Started by Scott Kley-Contini, director of learning, innovation and design at the middle school, the innovation lab provides students and teachers with a large selection of tools and resources for creative projects, “from crafting supplies to 3-D printers,” said Lisa Masoni, middle school Latin teacher. “Using the lab gave them a wealth of resources to produce some item of Roman clothing, either full-size or small, to increase their understanding of this cultural topic.”

In September, Raji Swaminathan’s grade 7 science students used the innovation lab’s resources to craft paper airplanes.
