Too few learners know about high-tech jobs that will dominate the future job market. Even fewer see pathways for themselves into those jobs. SparkNC is a revolutionary effort to help our learners engage with high-tech fields like artificial intelligence and machine learning, software development, computer systems engineering, and cybersecurity. Through Learning Labs across our interdistrict network, learners will have opportunities to explore these fields and collaboratively prepare for modern work. SparkNC is a completely new way to do school: learner-centered, industry-relevant, and competency-based. Our work is funded by an appropriation from the North Carolina General Assembly to create a high-tech learning accelerator for North Carolina. SparkNC is launching as an initiative of The Innovation Project (TIP). After incubating in partnership with TIP’s innovative district members, SparkNC will eventually expand to serve all North Carolina students.
