computer science, fabrication and design engineering
Programming languages at Zaragoza SchoolHouse
With 10 years of experience, we have developed specific software in Computer Science for students, which links and reinforces Montessori math and science lessons. From programming a sound wave, to making a short animation film or programming your own math problems in Python.
Our Computer Science teacher, Antonio Casas, works with students to integrate Computer Science into the curriculum and show them how useful programming skills are whatever their future profession.
Design Thinking, Engineering, and Computer Science
Beginning in fourth grade, students explore and develop computational thinking and programming skills. They investigate ways to create and test programs by integrating prior knowledge and making use of their knowledge of the design thinking process.
Art and Fabrication
At the elementary and middle school level, the field of visual arts and fabrication is combined. Students work with a wide variety of media to create projects that demonstrate an understanding of craftsmanship and the elements and principles of the visual arts. These elements and principles include, but are not limited to, space, form, light and contrast. Students gain first-hand knowledge and experience in construction using a variety of tools, screwdrivers, and materials such as wood, metal, foam. Emphasis is placed on safety and proper use.

The Zaragoza SchoolHouse Digital Story Festival is an event organized by and for students. Throughout the third quarter they develop, draw and program their own digital stories. Short animated films in which they narrate and draw their own stories. In the final event they are presented to the public, friends and family, in a party with snacks and popcorn.
