Kid Spark Education and Bridgestone Americas announced an expanded partnership to bring six cost-free STEM & literacy programs to elementary schools in Bridgestone communities during the 2026–2027 school year.
Through this partnership, six schools will receive complete, ready-to-implement Pre-K–5th grade STEM and literacy programs that include hands-on engineering and robotics materials, a curated collection of storybooks that support literacy-driven lessons, and standards-aligned curriculum. Educators will also receive training and ongoing support to ensure strong implementation and meaningful learning experiences for students.
Building on a partnership that began in 2023, Kid Spark Education and Bridgestone Americas have supported schools in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, and Tennessee, helping educators deliver hands-on learning experiences that build foundational STEM and literacy skills in young learners.
Schools located in eligible Bridgestone communities will be invited to apply through an open application process. Additional information will be available at www.kidsparkeducation.org/bridgestone.
