SparkForce, The FMA Foundation

SparkForce, The FMA Foundation Through its manufacturing summer camps and scholarships, SparkForce is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers, inventors and entrepreneurs.

Since 1990, SparkForce (formerly Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs), has awarded scholarships to students majoring in programs that lead to careers in manufacturing. Scholarships are awarded twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. NBT also awards grants annually to trade schools and community or technical colleges capable of hosting a summer camp program for girls and/or boys ages 12-16. Summer camps have

been a successful way of introducing middle- and high-school students to the fascinating, high-tech career choices available to them in today’s automated manufacturing industry.
