Little Sparks is our hands-on STEM club for children aged 8–12, created as a natural extension of STEMtacular and the growing demand for more opportunities for children to explore STEM throughout the year.
Based in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, Little Sparks is all about sparking curiosity, building confidence and learning through doing. From LEGO robotics and engineering challenges to chemistry, coding, experiments and plenty of problem-solving, each session gives children the chance to explore, create and discover.
We want Little Sparks to be a place for every curious child – including those who may not find their thing on the sports field – to meet like-minded children, try something new and discover just how many possibilities there are in the world of STEM.
Little Sparks runs during school term on Mondays at Stáisiún Óige, Ballinamore. Sessions cost €5 per child. Spaces are limited.Spaces are limited. Please note that completing the sign-up form does not guarantee a place. We will contact families to confirm places.
