Fall 2007 Spark Graduates

We rounded out the year at Spark with incredible student presentations.  Discovery Night began with collaborative setup: balloons, posters, and food tables.  After our students tested out their voices on the microphone for the first time, we were ready to welcome our guests.
At Hoover, we learned about police work, dog training, robotics, and video games.  George and Oscar showed us how the robot they built could pick up a ball and dunk it!  Sharnan and Edwin dissected their new video game, "Sticknation".
At Clifford, Kelly made us professional chocolate truffles, Sergio rapped about his young life, and Grace told us about the perils of fog.  Gabriel managed to give us the funniest Discovery Night presentation ever, with a play-by-play explanation of life at Hidden Villa.  Ultimately, the turkey became his Thanksgiving dinner!!
We presented our students and volunteers with certificates from Ira Ruskin and Anna Eshoo, respectively, to celebrate their achievements.  Congratulations Fall class of 2007!!

To our volunteers:
Thank you so much for your generosity and time!  Spark couldn't help so many youth without the help of the community.  Thank you for empowering so many young leaders.
