Spark4Learning

STEAM INTO SPACE

We 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.

We also have a streaming show coming up on Roku and some great video tutorials that will be coming out on YouTube!

In order to stay updated, please sign up for our email list.

Beginning 3D Design is easy to learn for all ages! Anyone can use this free CAD (Computer Aided Design) program to put their imagination to work and make it come to life in the computer. These designs can be transferred to a 3D printer and your creation can be printed! 

Coding is easier than you think, and it comes in several forms. Students can code Ozobots with blocks on a website or with lines on paper! Dash robots can also be coded with blocks on an app or website. Scratch is another awesome coding program. Check out some of our pictures and videos!

Please click the button in the section at the top of the page to register or email us at Spark4Learning@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Class 1: 3D Design and Coding (Math, Engineering, and Careers in STEAM)

Students will be introduced to TinkerCad and taught how to create 3D projects which may be printed with our 3D printer. Each week we will create a different design. Students who attend all 3 weeks will have their project printed using the 3D printer.
Students will also be introduced to Coding for Ozobot and Dash. They will experience engineering challenges, and learn about careers in STEAM fields.

 

, Class 2: Science, Writing, and Art

Students will learn different aspects about the solar system each week and will write about what they have learned during writing instruction workshop. They will also use art to create a representation of their learning. 

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to ignite the Spark4Learning within each child. We strive to nurture each child in a way that promotes the leader they have within and that helps them recognize the power they hold within to develop their inner genius! Spark4Learning encourages each child to gain appreciation for the future while learning key skills to help them adapt in an ever changing world. We believe that all students should have access to the amazing resources and experiences that afford them opportunities to ignite their Spark4Learning and reach for their dreams, which is why our vision includes our next endeavor will be a nonprofit foundation that will sponsor children to gain these experience, whose families would otherwise not have the resources to do so.

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 8 years I have been blessed to have organized and run some amazing summer enrichment programs through a school district.

For the past 4 years those programs have been immersive STEAM enrichment for students in 1st through 4th grades.

Students go through 2-4 rotations each day. They learn line coding, 3D design (we use Tinkercad to create projects and print them on a 3D printer), writing based on the subject of their research, about careers in STEAM, about science and art (we have learned about the ocean, 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,

Tammy Guerrero
