Blessed Sacrament’s SmartLab helps students develop critical skills for high demand future careers while they build circuits, program robots, and more.

The lab brings learning to life for students. They are able to collaborate, combining traditional classroom skills with artistic, innovative thinking to solve problems. SmartLab allows them to see a real-world purpose for learning, and all students are able to bring value to groups. SmartLab helps generate necessary skills for future employees and employers.
