SPARK Lab

Ideal for innovators eager to explore the world of electronics and programming. SparkLab is Future Innovators Academy’s fast-track intro to electronics and creative coding. In ten action-packed sessions, Grades 1-3 light up simple circuits with drag-and-drop Micro:Bits while Grades 4+ level up to breadboards, sensors, and Python. Kids leave demo-day with a working gadget and the swagger to say, “I built this!”

SparkLab — Intro to Electronics & Creative Coding

Flip the switch on curiosity. SparkLab is FIA’s hands-on launchpad where future inventors learn how electricity reallyworks—and then bend it to their will.

Who’s it for?

Grades 1-3 — Tiny Tinkerers: Light up basic circuits and program Micro:Bits with friendly, drag-and-drop blocks.

Grades 4+ — Junior Makers: Breadboard LEDs, buzzers, and sensors, then level-up to Micro:Bit Python.

What happens inside SparkLab

Circuit Basics – Voltage, current, resistance, and Ohm’s Law come alive through quick-build breadboard experiments.

Code Meets Copper – Students fuse simple programs with real hardware; blinking LEDs turn into talking, sensing contraptions.

Gizmo Garage – Motors, servos, light sensors, and buttons get stress-tested, tweaked, and re-wired until they just work.

Mini-Mission Challenges – Weekly build-offs (think reaction games, micro-bots, auto night-lights) push creativity and grit.

Show-Off Showcase – On demo day, parents step in, projects power up, and students own the spotlight.

Why it rocks

Zero fluff, all action. We solder theory straight into practice so skills stick.

Failure-friendly zone. Short circuits? Great—let’s learn why and fix it.

Real-world tools. The same boards engineers use, scaled perfectly for each age group.

Confidence you can plug in. Kids leave with working projects and the swagger to say, “I built this.”

Ready to see sparks (the safe, educational kind) fly? SparkLab turns newbie makers into electronics adventurers—one blinking LED at a time.
