MakerSpace with two 90W CO2 lasers, a CNC router, 3D printers, VEX robotics, virtual reality hub, circuitry & soldering station, power tools, and integrative art center. This is one of the largest and most advanced MakerSpaces of any high school in the country. Created and maintained a STEM Ambassador program, where our high school students volunteer their time to assist not only their peers but also middle school students who immerse themselves in our MakerSpace every other week in a new outreach program. Created the first Hackathon in a Jewish Day School, with 30 students participating in Spring, 2018. Introduced VEX Robotics in Fall 2016, growing to 20 students on four teams by the following school year followed by 30 students on six teams for the 20••••19 season. Proposed and coordinated the only Jewish Day School Robotics League in the country with the closely involved implementation of three additional South Florida Jewish Day School VEX robotics team. Created inaugural artificial intelligence/machine learning elective curriculum at KYHS in 2018. Introduced inaugural computer science curricula at KYHS in 2016: AP Computer Science A and Introduction to Computer Science. Taught AP Physics C and AP Physics 1 every year, with class score percentages significantly higher than the published AP Score averages for each subject (including AP Computer Science A). Applied for and received a substantial grant in 2018 to oversee the technicalities of a multi-year Project Lead The Way engineering course offering rollout. Enhanced our utilization of the Center for Jewish Initiative\'s engineering curriculum by adding a blended computer programming module. Created a STEM Workshop in Summer, 2018 for middle school students.
