The project was started as SparkTruck by a team of graduate students at Stanford. The truck was created to hold the supplies needed to teach kids about thinking, designing, making, and presenting ideas in an a dynamic environment. It is still involved in the same vision, though now with a new name and a new home.</span></span> <p style= =<div"text-align: center;">[[File:SMU Maker Truck.jpg|thumb]]<br/></divp>
