Guess who's back, back again
Did you miss us? Not as much as we missed you!💙 Welcome to the first newsletter of the year!
Hi Sparkies <3
Hope you had a relaxing winter break, whether it was spent on Leetcode grinding for an internship, travelling the world, or spending the holidays with your family! Welcome back!
If you’re new to Spark, let us introduce ourselves. We’re a community of students at the University of Pennsylvania that bridge tech and design to build both creative and client projects from ground-up. ⚡️Pretty cool right?
We decided to start this monthly newsletter to let you know what we’ve been up to, what’s going on in the tech & design world, and bring some upcoming events and opportunities (& even job opportunities 👀) along the way! We’re so excited you’re here with us on this new journey!
