The Kids LOVE Them
“We are just about completing our second week of using the SparkBlocks and the kids love them! I have had many students ask for the name of the SparkBlocks to be written down so they can ask for a set for their birthday.”

SparkBlocks — Third Grade Success!
“SparkBlocks has been a fantastic addition to our third grade classroom. The students loved the hands-on, collaborative activities using LEGO pieces to explore open and closed circuits. It helped build strong critical thinking skills, and students couldn’t stop asking to use them again. It also reinforced the importance of following directions — such an important third grade skill — and was especially great for promoting higher-level thinking.”

Amazing hands-on addition to my classroom!
“The materials were easy to access and integrate into my classroom workflow, and the demands of the lessons were intuitive for students. Every group had no problem remaining engaged for 45–60 minutes, and students would beg to be the next team that could use them. I overheard students using their new vocabulary as they worked collaboratively — problem-solving their own creations.”
