Creative Sparks:
Overview
Creative Sparks take flight
Over 4 years ignite has supported 20 exceptionally creative young people aged between 16-21 years old.
These talented young people, the Ignite! Creative Sparks, were referred to us by a range of national organisations such as BBC Blast, Young Electronic Design Awards, BA Crest Young Scientists of the Year and the Sustainable Design Award. Each Creative Spark was offered financial support, a creative partner and a mentor to guide their individually tailored programme of personal creative development. They have become a cohort of outstanding talent and virtuosity, role models for their peers and ambassadors for Ignite!'s creative methodology.
