Stem Identity

Students who see themselves as capable of learning and understanding science, technology, engineering, and math have a healthy STEM Identity.

Technological Fluency

Students with the confidence and skills to solve real world problems and design new solutions with technology are technologically fluent.

Students who are “STEM fluent” learn to think critically, solve creatively, and engage fearlessly with the world around them. By providing tools to support STEM education, from toddler to teen to teacher, Kid Spark helps students develop the courage to imagine a better world and the skills to create it.

I really like the way the STEM Labs are organized. I think the curriculum is spot-on for older elementary kids. They love being able to make things move and having so many more components at their disposal. The design briefs have been engaging and challenging for them. We just started the Mechanisms and Movement unit and they LOVE being able to see their designs come to life with the Spark.

In the past, our STEM fair was all boys, but now that we’re using Kid Spark, 3 of the best presenters at our STEM fair had girls on the team. In 4 of the 6 teams, it was girls who presented. I see the boys looking to the girls for the support—girls are really engaged. They are believing in themselves.

I'm in my second year of teaching engineering concepts with Kid Spark to kindergartners. I am amazed at how easily the students learn and start applying math, science, and engineering concepts with Kid Spark. Since the concepts are taught in the context of designing, building, and improving various types of structures, students are motivated to apply these concepts immediately in order to improve their creations.

I have used Kid Spark in my classroom this year. As a whole the program is running well. I have had the chance to use it with 20 different third grade classes, as well as 18 different fifth grade classes. What I like: The clear lid with parts map, website is user friendly, and curriculum is well-planned.

Kids Spark lessons are so easy for myself and my co-teacher to follow - not to mention easy for children to create airplanes, bridges, trucks, tractors and even robots. My students loved learning about patterns, learning new vocabulary and experimenting with new ways to invent and design their own creations. Kid Spark is a great resource to get your students engaged and their brains moving, as well as adding to their current skill set.
