As described on this website, SPARK
Institute is a Pune-based non-profit organization that offers specialized
educational programs that help children harness the tremendous power of
computers by learning to program. Programming is not an end in itself; instead
it becomes, for the children, a great tool in their overall learning process.
We go to schools and conduct
interesting computer courses that involve topics like:
Understanding geometry through computer graphics
Writing programs to solve puzzles and to
design games
Designing animation
Building robots
Understanding CPU and its Binary World
Many schools cannot afford the
cost of our courses. If you see value in providing such Computer Education
Program to school children, please consider sponsoring one or more
batches. You can recommend your own school for these programs, or
consider one that we are already in discussion with. Please contact us at abhay@spark-institute.com or shreekant@spark-institute.com
for a detailed discussion of our programs.
There are 3 ways in which you can
help:
Option 1:
Sponsor one batch for one course
Our course fee per student is Rs.
1000. So a single batch of 20 students at any school of your choice wishing to
take one of our courses will cost Rs. 20,000. This is inclusive of all costs,
except for the computer lab (consisting of 10 PCs minimum).
Our annual program consists of 2
individual courses. A single batch of 20 students at any school of your choice
wishing to undertake our annual program will cost Rs. 40,000. This is inclusive
of all costs, except for the computer lab (consisting of 10 PCs minimum).
Option 3:
Sponsor multiple batches
You can also choose to sponsor
multiple batches in a year at a given school.
