What if one week could spark something bigger? ✨

“Many ask, ‘Why lifelong learning?’ Beyond the well-known health benefits of improving brain function, contributing to longevity, and strengthening social connections, as an educator, one of the most exciting aspects is the ripple effect of growth in deep curiosity and intellectual stimulation people experience. This curiosity ‘rubs off’ on family members, neighbors, and friends and can ‘spark’ new conversations, thoughts, and connections that might not have happened otherwise. Hence the name ‘Spark Week!’ We strive to create new sparks of learning to fuel conversations, have ‘ah-ha’ moments, or validate existing ideas in a joyful and stimulating setting.”
— Dr. Catherine Pangan

That’s what Summer Spark Week is all about 💡
Join us June 1–4 and experience it for yourself.
