Innovation Station Hits TS Cooper Elementary!

(Updated: April 23, 2025, 5:02 a.m.)

The NC A&T Innovation Station rolled into Gates County and made a stop at TS Cooper Elementary! Students got hands-on with technology in the coolest way—by diving into a video game design session right inside the mobile lab.


They didn’t just play games—they became game creators! 💡 Students learned how to code, program, and design their own interactive mazes. The best part? They got to test out each other’s games and see their ideas come to life on the screen.


It was an awesome day full of creativity, tech skills, and teamwork—all thanks to NC A&T’s traveling Innovation Station. Big shoutout to them for bringing this one-of-a-kind learning experience to Gates County!
