Technology

At Forest Ridge we believe that every student can competently, confidently, and ethically use and innovate with technology.
The Technology Department offers courses for all students to develop competencies in computational thinking and in using common software applications, as well as courses for developing a deeper knowledge of computer science and emerging technologies. The Department also advises on the development of technology-rich curriculum across the academic program.
 

Three Innovation Studios

Forest Ridge has three unique studio spaces where students experiment, explore and bring our curriculum to life.
The Center Studio
In the Center Studio, students have access to a green screen, video editing stations and video production equipment to allow for collaboration on many forms of digital storytelling.
 
Digital Media Lab
The Digital Media Lab is a high-tech digital arts space with the tools and space needed for students to product high-quality audio, video and graphic art. Here, students collaborate in small groups to evaluate, iterate and refine their digital work. The resources in this space allow for digital post-production work, high-fidelity rendering and sharing with the greater community.
 
The Fabrication and Innovation Shop
The Fabrication and Innovation Shop is a maker space that provides access to the tools, technology and support necessary for students to bring their inventive ideas to life. Students can quickly put ideas into action and take creative risks with rapid prototyping, tinkering and making.
