Two makerspaces officially opened their doors in Halifax County Schools on Monday — one at Enfield Middle STEAM Academy and one at William R. Davie Middle STEM Academy.
Financial support for both makerspaces — which are designated spaces for hands-on learning — comes from the Golden Leaf Foundation. Enfield also received an Innovative Partnership Grant from the state in 2020.
Enfield’s ribbon-cutting ceremony featured speeches from Principal Linda Cooper, Halifax Superintendent Eric Cunningham, and Michael Elam, president of Halifax Community College, among others.
At Davie, Principal Brian Biles greeted the crowd as well as a Halifax Chamber of Commerce member and Joyce Lashley of the Halifax school board.
