What it is

A summer that changes the plan.

Spark is an immersive, six-week workforce experience. Students tackle real engineering and design projects, tour Oklahoma employers, and build the habits — and confidence — of a young professional.

It’s the program where everything from the school year comes together: STEM skills, leadership, and a clear line of sight to a career. Many alumni point to Spark as the turning point.

Across six weeks

What the summer holds.

Build

Real STEM projects

Workforce readiness

Résumés, interviews, and professional habits — preparing students for first internships.
