What kids build.
Every track runs Spark → Build → Debug → Show & tell, so kids leave having built something themselves.
Circuits & Sensors
Kids wire LEDs, buzzers, and light sensors on breadboards to learn how current, voltage, and switches behave.
Code Meets Hardware
A block-code intro to microcontrollers — kids program a chip to blink, sense, and react to the world around it.
Robotics Basics
Students build robots that combine motors, sensors, and microcontrollers into fully functional systems.
Solder & Build
Older kids learn safe soldering technique and assemble a take-home project.
Good to know.
Is there a cost?
No — every workshop is free, and all parts and tools are provided. We're a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit.
Does my child need any experience?
None at all. Our workshops are built for first-timers, and a mentor sits with every kid to help them build their project.
Can I book a workshop for my school or group?
Yes — use the RSVP form below and select "Bring a workshop to my school," or email us directly at hello@brightsparkfoundation.org.
What should we bring?
Just curiosity. We supply all components, tools, and safety gear (including for soldering sessions).
Reserve a spot.
Tell us a bit about your family or group and we'll confirm the next available session by email.
