Genna and I were experimenting with the Canon S100 video camera from Fireside Camera in San Francisco on Chestnut street and we filmed this video in front of the Chestnut Street Apple Store in San Francisco where we talk about the really cool upcoming Apple iPad.
Spark is the only youth empowerment program in the country that addresses the dropout crisis by re-engaging at-risk students through hands-on, individualized apprenticeships.
These workplace-based apprenticeships—in professions each student has identified as a “dream job”—are complemented by a leadership curriculum, workshops, and field trips.
The Spark experience creates a powerful sense of relevance for students, while providing the skills and confidence necessary to find success in school and in life.
Spark offers this program to 7th and 8th grade students, through summer and after-school programs, in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
