Bright SparksInvention Club

Bright Sparks for schools, groups and events

Our coaches bring the weekly club's build-test-fix program to classrooms, scout and homeschool groups, birthdays and community events around FishHawk and Lithia. Same materials, same coaching, in your setting.

Four ways to bring Bright Sparks to your kids

Every program starts the same way: a real problem, real materials, and kids who do the building. The setting changes; the learning doesn't. Pick the one that fits yours.

How it comes together

  1. 1

    Tell us about your group

    The date, the place, the kids' ages, roughly how many, and how long you have. The contact form takes a minute.

  2. 2

    We design the challenge and send a plan

    A build that fits the group, what we bring, the little you set out, and the pricing. Nothing is due until you confirm.

  3. 3

    Our coach runs it

    Every material and tool, the coaching, and the pack-up afterward. You get to watch the kids build.

What a session looks like

A problem to solve, a table full of materials, time to build and test, and a quick show-and-tell at the end. The same rhythm as a club week, so every child leaves with something that works.

Questions parents and organizers ask

Where do you travel?+

FishHawk, Lithia, Valrico, Riverview, Brandon and nearby. Ask about anything further out and we'll tell you if it works.

What ages work best?+

The challenges are built for ages 5 to 8. Younger siblings can build alongside a parent, and older kids get a harder version of the same build.

How many kids can you handle?+

Tell us the headcount and we'll size the coaches and materials to it, from a living-room party to a cafeteria full of families.

What do we need to provide?+

A table or two, a little floor or yard space, and the kids. We bring everything else and pack up when we're done.

How much does it cost?+

It depends on the headcount and the challenge. Send us the basics and we'll reply with a plan and pricing. Nothing is due until you confirm.

Is it messy?+

Cardboard, tape and the occasional glue stick. Nothing that doesn't come off a kitchen table.
