We are excited to share that we have extended the application deadline to June 30th. In addition, we now have scholarships available to cover the full $895 program fee for up to ten girls per week.
SPARK offers 3 week-long camps in different disciplines:
* Coding with Arduino (July 9-15)

* 3D printing (July 23-29)
SPARK Program Flyer -- Download<http://edoc.engr.uconn.edu/spark/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/SPARK-2017-flyer.pdf>
Scholarships: One teacher or guidance counselor from each school may recommend one student for a scholarship for each week of the program. To be considered, the student must submit an application online at http://edoc.engr.uconn.edu/spark/ and the teacher/counselor must separately submit a letter of recommendation which includes the students financial need to engr-edpsw@uconn.edu<mailto:engr-edpsw@uconn.edu>.
