In the wild, wacky, and wonderfully innovative state of Oregon, where raindrops race down windows and mustaches are a legitimate fashion accessory, there exists a tribe of super-smart kids known as the Robotic Rangers. Our story takes place in this enchanting state, known for its dense forests, towering mountains, and more quirkiness than you can shake a beaver tail at! In the heart of Oregon, in the shadow of the majestic Mt. Hood, the Robotic Rangers gather, wielding soldering irons like swords and circuit boards like shields. These kids have brains bigger than the state’s tallest Douglas Fir and ideas brighter than the neon Voodoo Doughnut sign. They're not just building robots; they're shaping the future, one gigabyte at a time. Their leader, a cool, tech-savvy marmot named Max, with thick glasses and an even thicker fur coat, guides them with his extensive knowledge of robotics. Max, much like Oregonians, is unique and not afraid to stand out. He wears neon green sneakers, has a mini-antenna sticking out of his furry head, and communicates in a mix of squeaks, squawks, and high-pitched giggles. Max's laughter is said to be so infectious that even the robots have been programmed to chuckle! The Robotic Rangers are a wondrous bunch, their enthusiasm as contagious as Max’s laughter. Together, they create a world where creativity, coding, mechanics, and fun are the order of the day. In the evergreen state of Oregon, these kids and their extraordinary marmot mentor make the extraordinary ordinary, one robot at a time!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
