A big thank you to all of our members who joined us for Member Morning yesterday! We had so much fun creating our own superhero capes and masks before heading off on heroic adventures around SPARK.
It was amazing to see our little heroes racing through the museum, saving the city, climbing to the highest points, and even making a quick stop at Sparky’s Garage for a fuel-up before their next mission. Thank you for making the morning so much fun. We can’t wait to see you at our next Member Morning!

What a week!
Our first session of SPARK Summer Camp was filled with creativity, curiosity, laughter, and plenty of hands-on learning. Campers explored a different element of STEAM each day through activities like tie-dye, engineering challenges, chess, cooking, art projects, space exploration, and our always-popular Not-A-Box challenge.

Most importantly, we watched campers make new friends, build confidence, ask great questions, and discover new interests along the way. Thank you to all of our amazing campers for making the week so much fun. We loved spending the week with you and can't wait to welcome our next group of campers in July!
