⚡ SparkNC Takeover at NCTIES ⚡ Last week, SparkNC Leaders and Scholars made a major impact at NCTIES, facilitating 9 sessions that showcased how student-centered innovation is transforming schools across North Carolina.

Spark voices were everywhere—from Scholars presenting innovative projects in the Exhibit Hall to leaders facilitating deep dives into gamification, rebuilding personal connections in a tech-heavy world, and deconstructing the conditions for innovation. It was a powerful display of what happens when we prioritize student agency and leadership. A huge thank you to the educators and students representing: Ashe County Schools, Cumberland County Schools, Lexington City Schools, New Hanover County Schools, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Vance County Schools, Wake County Public School System, and Wayne County Schools. Alongside our core team, these voices took the stage to share the incredible work happening inside SparkLabs across the state. Together, we are redefining what’s possible in NC education.
