Give your child a FUN way to sharpen their problem-solving skills and stretch their imagination in STEM camp.

• Science Labs
• Robotics
• Math Enrichment

Our Mission

To encourage historically underrepresented children to confidently pursue science or engineering careers through lab learning opportunities, tutoring, and mentorship.

• Making science and math connections between what students learn at school and the knowledge gained through our lab experiences
• Providing students opportunities to gain insights from STEM camp professionals regarding their career paths and daily responsibilities
• Giving academic assistance to students who need help in improving study skills and understanding math/science concepts

Our Vision

SPARK Access will provide consistent opportunities in the Houston area for children to participate in scientific discovery and investigations.

Our career mentor program and academic assistance will encourage students to see themselves as scientists. SPARK Access will produce a more confident student scientist.

SPARK Access will also follow up with our SPARK alumni as they work toward fulfilling the high school requirements of TEXAS’ STEM camp endorsement plan.

Give your child a FUN way to sharpen their problem-solving skills and stretch their imagination!

There is more than one way to solve a problem.

We help the SPARK Access student strengthen math and science skills via tutoring by presenting concepts in different ways. Our goal for each child is for her/him to UNDERSTAND the concepts.

Make Science and Math Relevant.

The STEM camp professionals serving as mentors and qualified scientists show our students how their career roles center around math and science. The SPARK Access student will know that learning math and science has a beneficial PURPOSE.

Robbyn Pope is the founder and program director of SPARK Access. She served as a community volunteer in public schools sharing her excitement for science with children, and in advisory roles regarding statewide science instruction. Prior to her years as a volunteer, she began her STEM career as a chemist, earned her Master of Education in Teaching and Curriculum, later taught high school science, and was science department chairperson. Providing support and encouragement for children exploring their interest in STEM was the impetus behind the establishment of SPARK Access.
