Pre-K students learned computer science basics through several fun Coding Week activities.
St. Paul's 5th grade students recently completed a collaborative project that explored the lives and work of selected influential figures from across the world.

St. Paul’s Alumnus Dakota Van Deursen is building rockets and developing a brighter future for his classmates at Stevens Institute of Technology. He’s putting his bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (and soon-to-be master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering) to good use designing, testing, and eventually launching a rocket into space. Even with a knack for science, though, he continues advocating for social justice.
