Like Tony Stark transforming into Iron Man, Sparky is looking to evolve into a technologically-enhanced “hero” for Arizona’s biggest university.
The Ignite Sparky Design Challenge is open to students and the public, with multiple rounds to compete in.
ASU professor and director of the challenge Brent Sebold says the goal isn’t to change Sparky, but to give him an enhancement that will make him more powerful than he already is.
What that means exactly is open to the imagination, but a super-dose of “spark” is encouraged in Sparky’s pandemic makeover.
