Bright Spark offers programs for students 4th-grade through college to build design skills such as empathy, problem-solving, prototyping, and experimenting to innovate new solutions applying design thinking.

Teachers annually report their students to grow in critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills—all while having fun. Students also grow in empathy. By continually practicing design thinking, students begin to more frequently see the world through the eyes of others.
