Behind the Spark

Behind the SPARK

Robbyn Pope is the founder and program director of SPARK Access. She served as a community volunteer in public schools sharing her excitement for science with children, and in advisory roles regarding statewide science instruction. Prior to her years as a volunteer, she began her STEM career as a chemist, earned her Master of Education in Teaching and Curriculum, later taught high school science, and was science department chairperson. Providing support and encouragement for children exploring their interest in STEM was the impetus behind the establishment of SPARK Access.
