"SparkMakers has been an outstanding partner for our school. Their instructors are engaging, well-prepared, and able to connect with a wide range of students -- but what really stands out is the strength of their programming. From 3D modeling and printing to LEGO BattleBots, students are actively engaged and learning by doing, and we consistently see strong repeat enrollment across their offerings. This year, SparkMakers also launched our First LEGO League team, which has been a huge success. That opportunity simply wouldn’t exist at our school without their partnership.”

“I had the opportunity to work with SparkMakers, a program developed by Sandra and Admir Varajic, that provides meaningful learning experiences for middle and high school migrant students. The program effectively integrates mathematics with hands-on STEAM activities -- drones, robots, 3D design and printing, and engineering. Students were highly engaged and demonstrated a growing interest in STEAM fields and careers. These experiences not only strengthened their academic skills but also inspired curiosity and confidence in pursuing future opportunities in STEAM.”
— Miguel M. Zuniga Math Teacher, California Migrant Education
“I’ve seen this program grow and flourish since its inception. There’s an excitement among the kids involved -- one of innovation, creativity, and learning. This obviously translates to their efforts in the classroom as well as being good citizens on site. Their success in competition is a testament to the amazing coaches and parent support they receive. This is truly a partnership with the community. Cannot recommend it more!”
