Webb Unveils the Huang Innovation Wing
On Wednesday, November 20, Webb proudly opened the doors to the Huang Innovation Wing—a dynamic new space designed to inspire and empower students in STEM, innovation, and creative problem-solving.
Featuring state-of-the-art tools and collaborative environments, the wing offers students a hands-on learning experience to explore, experiment, and master the critical skills needed to thrive in today’s fast-evolving world. This initiative significantly enriches academic opportunities, enabling deep engagement with emerging technologies, fostering groundbreaking projects, and cultivating a spirit of ingenuity that embodies Webb’s forward-thinking approach to education.
“I’m thrilled to see our students and faculty bring their creativity to life in this interdisciplinary space,” said Theresa Smith, Head of School. “By integrating cutting-edge technology into Fawcett Library—the heart of student academic life—we’ve added a new dimension to our curriculum. Faculty are already exploring innovative ways to use these resources across all disciplines, from science to the arts.”
