Full Spark Forward New Hanover High School’s Spark Lab officially opened, and what a moment it was!

The new space gives students hands-on access to high-tech fields like cybersecurity, robotics, graphic design, digital media, and more — all through student-led exploration and creation. Huge shoutout to George Knips and the Spark Scholars — they filled the room and showcased how powerful learner-driven education can be. From advocating for what they want to explore to doing real work in the lab, these students showed what’s possible when you put learners in the driver’s seat. And special recognition to Ambassador Ellen for speaking from the heart about Spark and the impact it’s already having. 👏 This lab isn’t just a room — it’s a launchpad for future careers and real-world tech skills!
