Our SparkLab students participated in the Apple App Showcase, where this year’s theme was Teen Mental Health. Students designed and built interactive app prototypes using Keynote, showcasing creativity, empathy, and innovation. After a school-level competition, our winning team advanced to the state level. We’re thrilled to announce they’ve been selected as finalists! They’ll travel to Apple’s campus in Cary this December to pitch their app to a panel of industry professionals. We’re so proud of our Titans for sparking change through technology and compassion! 🍎💡 #SparkNC #AppleAppShowcase #TitanPride
