Beecher High School is proud to open its state-of-the-art STEAM SmartLab on October 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM. This innovative space empowers students to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through hands-on projects, real-world problem solving, and cutting-edge technology. Whether building robots, designing digital media, or coding solutions, students gain the skills and confidence needed for college, careers, and leadership in a rapidly evolving world.
We are excited to introduce two new members of our Dailey learning community—a pet snake and a pet tarantula! These fascinating creatures are part of our science enrichment efforts, helping students explore biology, responsibility, and empathy in a hands-on way.
Safety & Sanitary Protocols:
• Both animals are housed in secure, locked terrariums that are not accessible to students without supervision.
• Daily cleaning and weekly deep sanitation are performed by staff using safe, school-approved disinfectants.
• Students will observe only—no handling—unless part of a guided, gloved activity with parental permission.
• Allergy and sensitivity checks have been conducted, and accommodation is available for any student with concerns.
Opt Out forms are available in the newsletter and will be sent home with our scholars.
Student Introduction to Smart Lab.

· Building STEM Identity: Students develop confidence and a sense of belonging in STEM fields, which is crucial for long-term academic and career success.
· Developing 21st-Century Skills: Smart Labs foster critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and adaptability—skills essential for future careers.
· Improving Academic Outcomes: Studies, such as one conducted in North Dakota, show measurable gains in digital literacy and student performance after Smart Lab implementation.
· Supporting Equity and Inclusion: Smart Labs help bridge the digital divide by providing access to technology-rich learning environments, especially in underserved communities.
· Transforming Teaching Practices: Teachers report shifts toward more student-centered, inquiry-based instruction, which enhances classroom dynamics and learning outcomes
