Center For Exploration and Creative Learning CECL In October of 2017, under the leadership of Superintendent, Dr. Bradley Porche',  New York School for the Deaf  opened the doors to their Center for Exploration and Creative Learning (CECL). This center consists of a state-of-the-art STEAM Lab, as well as a Learning Commons. The CECL enriches the academic and technical education program for all students. The curriculum enables students to take what they learn in the classroom, and practically apply knowledge to the world around them. The STEAM Lab focuses on encouraging students to use their imagination to apply their Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) skills for the 21st Century college or career track. This program allows our students to explore hands-on and interactive learning with today's latest technology. Our students are flying drones, learning computer programming and coding, and operating 3-D printers to bring designs to life. Our students are taking their learning to new heights. Page 15
