Registration for SPARK 2016 has ended. Look forward to SPARK 2017!
SPARK is back! This summer, we are partnering with Interlake High School's Science Olympiad team to offer a two-week intensive science program that will introduce students to key concepts taught in AP/IB gifted science courses. Through an engaging mixture of lectures, activities, engineering projects, and labs, students will gain an understanding in the multifaceted subjects of science while having fun! Our volunteers are highly qualified, having excelled in a myriad of rigorous science courses and achieving success through Science Olympiad.

This year, SPARK is revamping AfterCare to become an extra two hours of learning each day on topics not typically covered in traditional science courses. Through an innovative blend of technology* and self-exploration, students can investigate the stars, rummage through the rainforest, and have their eyes opened to current events in science! $50/week *Android tablets will be used during AfterCare. Expected student:tablet ratio - 3:1 |
This year, SPARK will be hosted at Big Brains Preparatory, the Eastside's newest private high school. To learn more, please visit bigbrainseducation.com.
