Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center & Innovation Isle
Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center
Designed to underscore its connection to science, respect the environment, and provide the means necessary for teaching based on Anatolia College’s new Educational Paradigm, the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center is located adjacent to the Middle School buildings. It houses Physics, Chemistry, and Biology laboratories, a multi-purpose Creativity Hall, and an open learning space.
All students have access to these spaces to carry out STEM activities. The Anatolia College approach to STEM education, through the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center, is to support and implement modern educational methods that promote a holistic pedagogical approach for the entire educational community.
Through partnerships with organizations and research institutions, the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center envisions enabling students and educators from the broader community to come into contact with cutting-edge technologies and participate in innovative educational activities.
The Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center was completed thanks to a donation from the Papageorgiou Foundation and funding from USAID.
Innovation Isle
Fabrication Lab
The Anatolia College Fabrication Lab is equipped with 3D printers, a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting and engraving machine, and other crafting tools. Fab Labs are based on the idea that students learn through design and construction, using their own hands or with the help of a computer, in order to master a subject that interests them personally. In this way, our students progress from creative thinking and imagination to designing and building prototypes and objects, and realizing their ideas.
Green Education Center
The Green Education Center is the first such laboratory in Europe housed in a Middle School that promotes a green approach by providing all the necessary equipment so that students can build anything they imagine. Green education plays a crucial role in raising students' awareness of environmental issues and in shaping the right attitudes and behaviors that can contribute to a sustainable future.
The Green Education Center promotes environmental initiatives in the school, giving students the opportunity to attend lectures on environmental issues (such as Green Chemistry) and participate in weekend programs for students and the whole family, summer programs, as well as educational trips.
Future Learning Classroom at Anatolia Elementary School
The STEM program at Anatolia College is enriched with the new Future Learning Classroom, located in the Elementary School. This is an innovative space, equipped with modern technological and scientific tools, such as 3D printers and virtual reality (VR) sets, creating a dynamic learning environment. This classroom enables students to explore and experiment with modern methods, encouraging the development of skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, promoting their overall development and preparing them for the future.
