Fab Lab for good!

Hawken senior Benson Nguyen recently partnered with Park Ranger and Hawken parent Ryan Trimbath and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Service to build a custom "fish slide" in Hawken’s Fab Lab for the Lake Sturgeon Release Celebration.

The custom slide helped release nearly 230 threatened sturgeon into Lake Erie, and Park Rangers named Benson the MVP of the day for his engineering talent and hard work on site.

Our kindergarten Trailblazer family recently headed to Hawken Creek as part of their ongoing water project. Along the way, they pondered big questions through observation, exploration, and wonder: Where does the water come from? Why does the water move?

These young learners are discovering that questions can lead to the most exciting adventures.

In U.S. Foreign Policy, 10th grade students recently engaged in a spirited discussion about U.S. military decision-making in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Drawing on texts, including college-level readings, students examined historical evidence, developed and challenged ideas, and made arguments grounded in their research.

The course, one of the newer options in the Upper School, was created in response to students’ interest in understanding the forces shaping our world, both past and present. Experiences like this one give students practice in critical reading, research, discussion, and writing skills needed to make sense of complex global issues.
