Meet the SPARC Crew
SPARC Station is still in the ignition stage. We have a 4000 sq ft finished workshop space on the Extraordinary Education campus that is ready and waiting to be filled with equipment, activities and excited makers of all ages. We are now looking for passionate teachers and sponsors who want to share their skills and the spark of imagination and innovation with the next generation. We are also seeking members for our "SPARC Igniter" Steering Committee. SPARC Igniters will be involved in making plans for classes, clubs, and teams, as well as organizing the space and securing sponsors and equipment. If you would like to be involved in helping bring the SPARC vision to life, please let us know via our Contact Form.
