The SPARCy project is a collection of media including videos and games which promote the SPARC trailer, a portable research lab designed to travel to hard to reach places and gather data. The face of the SPARC is SPARCy the electric squirrel, who helps explain science concepts to aspiring scientists. SPARCy is intended to bring awareness to Space Science and Engineering Center at UW-Madison and the interesting research being done at its facilities. Some topics include the instruments included in the SPARC and simplified concepts to promote interest and visibility into the world of atmospheric science.
