Ridgewood NJ, upgrades and enhancements to the RHS Makerspace Lab are underway through the Duffield STEAM Initiative. New industry-standard equipment will significantly elevate the student experience, preparing them for college and career. The first of a host of new tools arrived last week — the massive Mimaki UV-LED Printer/Cutter. Unlike any piece of equipment currently in the lab, the Mimaki printer/cutter will expand design and production capabilities exponentially.

Dear Ridgewood,
I grew up in Paramus in an immigrant family with modest means. I loved going to school, and whatever time I had left, I worked as a cashier at a local supermarket to pay my way for activities like a school trip to Paris. I knew that education was an investment towards a better future and school was a gateway to opportunities. I had a view, thanks to my parents, that if I work diligently, I can make a difference in myself and the world.
