SparkLab: “It’s a community driven initiative, born out of a passion for sparking positive change”

  • Vision: catalyst for transformative innovation.
  • The sessions are designed to kindle curiosity.

Some machines are unaffordable, and they cannot be placed in each classroom or school. Access to places like WIDC that have machines like 3D printers, lasers, high-tech engineering machines, etc. is important so students have access to see what technology can bring to the future.

  • The combination of expertise, high-end hardware, and latest software all in one place is easily incorporated in the Curriculum with Educational Plans and field trips.
  • This brings accessibility to the community and inspires the kids to join the field of technology.

3D-Printing can bring cheap access to different pieces of engineering and topographical maps that would not be accessible in other ways and the feel and touch parts bring it to their other senses in ways that pictures can’t. The software needed to create the 3D models also teaches the students how to program and create something in digital space and time, which then can be printed into our own reality.
