Ashish Amresh, an assistant professor at ASU’s College of Technology and Innovation, will discuss the SPARK App League this week on the Horizon public affairs program on Channel 8. The program will air at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19.
Amresh leads ASU’s computer gaming curriculum and founded the Computer Gaming Certificate and the Camp Game summer program.
The Schools Participate in App Resources and Knowledge (SPARK) App League is a partnership with the College of Technology and Innovation, Intel and the town of Gilbert. It is the first program of its kind in Arizona and, perhaps, in the nation. Its goal is to encourage and provide opportunities for Arizona’s high school students to develop mobile applications that incorporate science, technology, engineering and/or math (STEM). Students work with Gilbert data sets to build apps that help residents, visitors and businesses.
