Sunset Spark

Sunset Spark helps new Americans of all ages use science and technology for fun, family, and the future.

Sunset Spark unofficially started in the Summer of 2008 when Yadira and Gaelen taught 3rd and 4th graders soldering and robotics at P.S. 24 in Brooklyn. In 2013, they began pursuing Sunset Spark’s mission full-time by partnering with neighborhood schools to provide in-class creative technology instruction. Sunset Spark helps new Americans of all ages use science and technology for fun, family, and the future. We offer free high quality classes for kids, adults and families in a wide variety of modern science and engineering subjects, including robotics, coding, neuroscience, and physical computing. We want every family attending a school in Sunset Park to have free access to the best creative technology classes in the city. To help make this happen, we work with most schools in the greater Sunset Park neighborhood, including P.S. 24, 516, 971, 503, 172, 131, 169, St. Agatha School, and Charles Dewey. You can also find us at the Sunset Park, Bush Terminal Park, the local Library, Atlas:DIY, the Muslim Community Center, Industry City, and other neighborhood centers.
