Innovation & Invention
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.
Superior Materials For STEM Learning
Kid Spark engineering materials are ideal for informal and formal education use. The large-scale, reusable components make collaborative learning and invention easy.
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 Foundational Fluencies STEM Lab, use a friction-fit system to connect, making it easy for any child to design and build in three dimensions.
From Blocks to Robotics
As students progress in their learning, they will be introduced to new Kid Spark building components that open up a world of opportunity for design and invention.
Kid Spark's STEM Pathways Lab features an assortment of components that can be used to build structures, create and convert motion, add power and control to a design using programmable robotics, and much more.
Built-In Mathematics
All Kid Spark engineering materials are designed in metric units of measurement. Counting, measurement, ratios, and other math concepts are always immediately present, making it easy to integrate mathematics into any lesson or project.
3D Virtual Parts Library
Students can invent custom Kid Spark components using computer aided design (CAD) and 3D printing. All Kid Spark components are available as downloadable digital files in our 3D virtual parts library.
