About SPARKGROUNDS

Welcome to SPARKGROUNDS — a place where hands-on learning sparks creativity, exploration, and confidence in Pre-K through 12th grade students. Through our dynamic STEM and art programs, robotics workshops, and immersive take-home kits, we invite young minds to discover, build, and dream boldly.

Founded in 2020 by Carla and Richard Hay — educators, creators, and parents — SPARKGROUNDS grew from a shared belief that children learn best through real experiences and joyful curiosity. Our programs nurture problem-solving, teamwork, and self-expression, empowering students to thrive in a constantly evolving world.

Our Core Beliefs

STEM & Art are Crucial

All children must engage with science, technology, engineering, art, math, and robotics, and be given ample experience with each subject.

Working Together is Key

Problem-solving, troubleshooting, leadership, and working together are crucial skills that children must develop, practice, and exhibit.

Overcoming Failure is Learned

Children must be given the chance to succeed--and the tools to overcome failure by being empowered to solve problems to achieve goals.

HOME OWNER ASSOCIATIONS

Community Partnerships

Serving Central Florida, SparkGrounds partners with homeowners associations to bring engaging, hands-on STEM, robotics, 3D printing, science, and art experiences directly to your community spaces. From weekly classes to one-day workshops and special events, we create meaningful opportunities for Pre-K to 12th grade children to learn, build, and connect—right in their own neighborhood.

We offer flexible partnership models to fit your community: programs can be hosted as resident-paid classes with a revenue share to the HOA, or fully sponsored by the HOA as a direct amenity. Every session is led by experienced, background-checked instructors who specialize in hands-on, age-appropriate learning.

Let’s turn your clubhouse into a place where creativity, curiosity, and community come together.
