Our staff and team of interns have been working hard, carving timbers for our sustainable systems at the new space:

ABOUT THE MOVE:

Spark-Y is excited to be joining many of our school program partners in Northeast Minneapolis, including Edison High School, Northeast Middle School, Pillsbury Elementary and more. Just up the street, you can find our 2016 internship project: a timber-frame pavilion in Beltrami Park. Our new space will include staff workspace and meeting areas, a microgreen farm, and biology innovation lab.

ABOUT THE 8TH ANNUAL INTERNSHIP:

We refer to our internship as a “sustainability bootcamp,” where youth are placed in teams and given a real-world project to complete on deadline with environmental and financial outcomes. 2018 interns will be sharing their projects through interactive presentations. This year’s projects include garden installations, a youth-led workshops, an aquaponics system build, and a timber frame farm build at our new headquarters at Casket Arts.

We are so excited to celebrate our new space and the lasting contributions of our 2018 Spark-Y interns!
