Big Ideas. Little Inventors.
Hands-on invention club for kids 5 to 8
Weekly classes in FishHawk and Lithia where kids solve a real problem with real materials, test what they built, and take home something they made. First group starts soon.
- Ages 5 to 8
- 75-minute classes
- Small groups
- All materials included
- FishHawk and Lithia
One challenge a week, built by your child
Each class starts with a real problem to solve. Kids plan it, build it with materials we provide, test it, and fix what didn't work. Coaches help; kids do the building.
- Made for ages 5 to 8. Big pieces, quick wins, help when the first idea flops.
- Close to home. Classes meet in the FishHawk / Lithia area, between school pickup and dinner.
- Small groups. Every child gets hands-on time, not a turn.
What a week looks like
The challenge changes every week. The rhythm stays the same, so kids always know what's coming.
Look closely
Every class opens with a problem worth solving and a close look at how things work.
Build it
Real materials and kid-safe tools on the table, with a coach close by and plenty of time.
Test it, fix it
Some inventions work. Many don't yet. Finding out why is the best part of the class.
Hands on, not on a screen
Bright Sparks is a club, not a class you sit through. Kids build, test and show off something new every week, and you get a photo of it after every class.
One price, everything included

You'll always know what they built
After each class you get a short recap with a photo of your child's invention, so the car ride home starts with "show me" instead of "what did you do today?" On week four, parents are invited in for the invention show.
Is my 5-year-old ready for this?+
Yes. Everything is designed for ages 5 to 8, with big pieces, kid-safe tools and coaches who help without taking over. Kindergartners usually surprise their parents.
Do parents stay or drop off?+
Either works. Many families drop off; you're welcome to stay for the first class if that helps your child settle in.
Bright Sparks beyond the weekly club
The same hands-on program, brought to schools, scout and homeschool groups, birthdays and community events around FishHawk and Lithia. A coach, a real challenge, and kids who do the building.
