SPARK
Igniting a passion for science
As a leading life science company, we are passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists. We have strong commitments to science and STEM education. While we support many STEM programs and organizations around the world, we have also created tools and resources that connect our scientists with students through the Curiosity Cube and our Curiosity Labs™ programs.
Our SPARK Global Volunteer Program is designed to unite employees around the globe in their shared commitment to Sustainability and Social Business Innovation and giving back to their local communities.
Through SPARK, we focus on engaging 8-13 year old students in science-related activities as a way to spark curiosity, ignite a passion for science and inspire them to consider a STEM-related career. All activities are employee-led, and hands-on, providing thought-provoking discussions about science.
