Gov. Henry McMaster announced last week that a portion of the state’s education-specific pandemic funding from last year’s CARES Act would be used to install and support the construction of eight Apple labs over the next several months, including devices, educational programming and digital literacy training. Seven of the labs will be located on University of South Carolina campuses, including the flagship in Columbia, while the eighth will be hosted by Benedict College, a historically Black college in Columbia.
