KEARNEY Youth Programming

education matters

Spark Studios is a STEAM-based afterschool program whose motto is to “Enrich Educate Inspire.” The experiences that Spark Studios provides, prepare students to be creative, collaborative, and comfortable with stepping outside of their comfort zone. This is vital because studies show that most students will step into careers and jobs that haven’t even been created yet. Students in grades K-7 come to find their place. As we live in this everchanging world, we must prepare our kids for success, and Spark Studios can do just that for students of all different backgrounds.
