We believe middle school is the perfect time to ignite a love for science, technology, engineering, and math. That's why we created SPARK and ENGAGE - two free academic year programs filled with creativity, collaboration, and discovery.
Whether your child wants to explore the wild "what if" questions in a virtual setting or build real-world projects on our campus, these programs are designed to inspire them. No pressure. No grades. Just learning and fun!
SPARK
Where: Online | When: After School | Who: 6th-8th Graders | Cost: Free
Curious questions become hands-on investigations right from your kitchen table. Past topics include:
- Have you ever wondered how a robot works?
- Do you know what lurks in the ocean?
- Have you ever wondered if there was a way of altering a person's DNA?
Your child will learn from GSSM students and instructors through engaging, live sessions that include interactive materials. All they need is a device, internet, and a love of asking "why?"
ENGAGE
Where: GSSM Campus | When: After School | Who: 6th-8th Graders | Cost: Free
Let your child explore hands-on problem-solving through project-based workshops at one of the top STEM schools in the country. They'll:
- Solve problems. Think critically. Build real creations.
- Collaborate with GSSM students.
- Learn how ideas become inventions.
It's an experience full of exploring, tinkering, and discovering what they're capable of with peers who love STEM too.
