Spark4Learning
STEAM INTO SPACEWe seek to ignite a Spark4Learning in each child, and in adults as well!
We offer a full day summer enrichment program for students ages 5 – 12 years old, as well as Saturday workshops during the year. These classes engage your child and spark their mind with science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
—> ***NEW!!!*** We are also currently offering short 1 hour workshops through local Staples Spotlight areas where you can sign your child up to get a taste of line coding, 3D design, and more. Each workshop will focus on a limited subject. See below for upcoming workshops!
We also have a streaming show coming up on Roku and some great video tutorials that will be coming out on YouTube!

What sets us apart?
Spark4Learning is a high quality STEAM program that actually integrates the components of STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art, and math. We are aligned with California’s NGSS (Nest Generation Science Standards). In addition our program is full day (8am-3pm)!
Our Director
For the past 5 years I have been blessed to have organized and run some amazing summer enrichment programs through a school district.
For the past 2 years those programs have been immersive STEAM enrichment for students in 1st through 3rd grades.
Students go through 3 rotations each day. They learn line coding, 3D design (we use Tinkercad to create projects and print them on a 3D printer), writing (students learn about careers in STEM and then write about what they might like to be), and science and art (last year we learned about the ocean and then created ocean habitats, and two years ago we learned about the rain forest and created a rain forest for the Ozobots to drive through).
We are extremely excited to be able to open this up to the public. Please feel free to contact me more more information at (714) 328-3988, or to sign up your child, please click on the button at the top “Sign Your Student Up Now!”.
Please also share this amazing opportunity and help us spread the word on social media! The registered family who helps spread the word and register the most families will receive a free Ozobot!
Best regards,
