SPARK, the largest student-run camp in Bellevue, is partnering with Interlake Science Olympiad to provide an accessible and engaging experience for elementary and middle school students. SPARK’s mission is to inspire and encourage youth to engage in STEM through a mix of educational activities and labs. Our volunteers have a strong background in AP/IB level chemistry, biology, and physics.

SPARK also offers an extra two hours of camp each day. During AfterCare, our volunteers will lead games and additional activities to supplement the day's learning. Through an innovative blend of technology and self-exploration, students can categorize objects around them or travel into the human brain. $50/week *Android tablets will be used during AfterCare. Expected student:tablet ratio - 3:1 |
SPARK will be hosted at Big Brains Preparatory, the Eastside's newest private high school. To learn more, please visit bigbrainseducation.com.
