The SPARK Program this year features…

1.   W!LD:  Wondrous Innovations and Living Designs™

During the W!LD:  Wondrous Innovations and Living Designs™ module, children embark on a wild animal adventure to investigate some of the most spectacular and innovative animals on the planet.

2.    The Curious Cypher Club™

Children practice engineering skills to construct a clubhouse in which to employ math concepts and logical thinking to solve a mystery in The Curious Cypher Club™ module.

3.    An Atomic Journey™

During the Bounce! An Atomic Journey™ module, children investigate the science of atoms and molecules by experimenting with bouncy balls!  A dynamic mix of chemistry and physical science, children bounce their way through atoms, molecules, mixtures, and compounds to figure out how cool matter (like a bouncy ball) is created.

4.    Game On: Power Play™  

Combining physical activity and creativity, children practice teamwork, cooperation, coordination, and creative problem solving during fun, energetic games in the Game On: Power Play™ module.

5.    I Can Invent: Edison’s Workshop™

The I Can Invent: Edison’s Workshop™ module illustrates the joys (and frustrations) that real inventors face during the process of creating totally new inventions. During the week, children work in teams to create multi-step inventions using pieces and parts of broken appliances and other upcycled materials.
