Objective

The SPARK program provides hands on summer training opportunities in stem cell research at leading stem cell institutes to California high school students who represent the diversity of the state’s population. The SPARK meeting is a 1 day program (plus an evening networking reception the night before) that features the scientific accomplishments of these students in the form of posters and presentations. Please see the Program Announcement for full details.
