"Spark your curiosity, creativity and imagination with us this summer! Our goal with the annual Summer SPARK! program is to increase technology and computer science literacy for learners of all backgrounds and interests.

We are very excited to be offering this virtual learning experience to
anyone, anywhere, free of charge!

We will be using a connected learning model, which is all about empowering learners to pursue their interest and passion with the support of peers, mentors and facilitators. The learning experiences will happen over three weeks with three different themes. You can sign-up for one or for all. Each week, we’ll explore the theme through interactive challenges, video tutorials, lunch & learns, and learning from experts in the field. There will be synchronous (in person video conferencing) and asynchronous (do at your own pace) activities. We will wrap up the week with a Demo Party to share all the awesome creating from the week!"
