Sparks come in Small Group Packs of 10 individual, reclosable packages and Class Packs with all the essentials 25 learners need to create, store, and take home. Â Just hand them out!

All Sparks come with printed visual guides so most learners can build and play without needing to follow written instructions.

Educators use our coaching videos, illustrated instructional slides and playbooks to prepare and lead engaging lessons. Â Each includes deeper dives into the how and why of every Spark.

Sparks have beautiful modular components that learners design, create, deconstruct, and re-build - or combine their inventions with peers! When done, they go home with the learner who made it.
Learners build a cardboard lever machine with a creature face that moves.
Everything's in the kit. You add scissors and markers.

Sparks are hands-on, screen-free engineering kits for Pre-K through 8th grade. Every learner gets their own materials, builds something that really works, like a drawing robot or a wind-up car, and takes it home. Browse all Sparks →
Most Sparks take 30 to 45 minutes. A few take 45 to 60 minutes, and the shortest takes 20 to 30. Each Spark's page lists its time.
Any adult can, with no STEM background needed. Each Spark has a step-by-step visual guide, and a free educator account adds a coaching video and slide deck. Teachers, librarians, camp staff, parents and volunteers all lead Sparks.
