About
Sparkologie offers classes and camps where kids work on art, design, STEM, and AI projects. The program also includes a STEAM focused Tinkerlab class. Programs are rooted in art and design methods modeled after Stanford’s d.school (Stanford Design School) and use a radically student centered approach.
• Ages: 4–12 years old
Sparkologie’s mission is to spark creativity with art, design, and STEM programs integrated with AI, through classes, camps, homeschool, and after-school enrichment, while teaching kids core skills and design thinking and serving families throughout Northern California. The founder, Courtney Escanio, has 25+ years of experience in design and has worked at Apple, Madison Reed, Frog Design Agency, and more. Sparkologie offers homeschool and after school enrichment programs in art, design, STEM, and AI at neighborhood elementary schools, parks and recreation centers, and studios in Northern California, including after school enrichment programs year round at neighborhood schools, art classes at local parks and recreation with community-focused classes and community galleries at civic locations, and classes at partnered studios. Grants and scholarships are available for most offerings, and the studio also hosts events, art parties, and kids night out, along with homeschool and after school enrichment classes.
“Courtney is a real treasure. She put my six year old daughter at ease right away with her naturally positive, enthusiastic energy. My daughter loves her classes and has so much fun that I sometimes have trouble getting her out of there. Courtney introduces them to some higher brow art ideas but in a fun age-appropriate way (like pointillism for example). My daughter also did two of her holiday parties (Thanksgiving and Winter) and had the best time. She also really enjoyed her STEAM focused Tinkerlab class with Ms Susan. It's a great place for kids.” - Kiley B, mom
“Cannot recommend enough! My six year old daughter went to daycamp at Sparkologie this summer and she had a great time. She came home happy and inspired. I felt good knowing that she was in safe care and using her creative mind! Courtney and her staff are excellent, professional, and lovely. Can't wait to sign my daughters up for additional classes and camps here in the future.” - Lindsay S., mom
