Learn, Engineer, Invent!

Kid Spark materials and supporting curriculum help students learn foundational STEM fluencies the moment they enter school, and then build upon their learning every year. As students develop content knowledge and skill they will gain confidence in their ability to design, engineer, and invent new things.

Easy Classroom Management

Each Kid Spark STEM Lab is equipped with a top lid label that shows students how to organize materials into the lab after a lesson or project. This makes it easy to keep labs organized and ready for instruction.

Large-Scale Building Blocks

Children as young as preschool can easily use Kid Spark blocks to learn foundational STEM fluencies and build creative inventions of their own design.

These blocks, found exclusively in Kid Spark's Early Inventors STEM Lab, use a friction-fit system to connect, making it easy for any child to design and build in three dimensions.
