SparkShop (website under construction) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing engineering concepts into the classroom of low-income Chicago schools, inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals.
What sets SparkShop apart is its focus on education equity: 92% of SparkShop students are non-white, and 51% are girls.
As Associate Board Member and Creative Consultant, I help craft copy and press materials to inspire students, garner donations, and engage a web and social audience.
COVID Changed everything.
So did we.
When schools closed, we pivoted our entire curriculum to a digital format, and launched a digital and print activity guide to help students discover engineering in their favorite things to do. Based on their preferences, fun related activities are provided to build upon those skills.
