Description of Trip: We are excited to announce the third annual Dwight Schools Global Sparkathon, a weekend-long design competition where students in Grades 6–12 will collaborate in teams and compete against peers from other Dwight Schools worldwide. This year’s theme is: The Future of Food. Students will have access to state of the art equipment, including laser cutters, 3D printers and other maker tools. Each team will be paired with a design or science teacher as a mentor. We invite Dwight Global students to participate in person on the New York campus or as part of remote teams. Students will have the opportunity to select their own teams or they can be placed in a team based on interest.
Participants must currently be in grades 6 to 12.
Please contact Dwight Global Online School if you have any questions.
