SPARKING YOUTH

Tech Spark YOUTH focuses on building the important skills children need to become the innovators and creators of the future.

Aligned with the Ontario School Curriculum, each of our programs helps students to develop skills in empathy, creative & critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving, reflection, communication, expression and idea organization.

Child to Adult Ratio

There’s a
spark for
all our youth

Our programs are customized for two main age groups to ensure we continue to deliver relevant material for our students

With a 4:1 child to adult ratio, TechSpark on average provides each student with a more dedicated and curated teaching approach.

Why TechSpark?

  • We use equitable and culturally relevant curriculum design
  • We are passionate and experienced educators
  • We understand and have faced the same barriers girls and youth of colour face when engaging with tech
  • We expose youth to diverse forms of tech programming including virtual reality, mobile app development, coding and robotics
  • We understand that girls and youth of colour need strong emotional and social skills to thrive in today’s society, so we intentionally focus on building these skills in each work shop
  • We evaluate our student’s development and provide additional support where and when it’s needed

I’m really happy with the app my friends and I made in Tech Spark. I’m going to add this project to my high school application portfolio to R.H. King.
