Get Ready for a STEM Adventure—Hours of instructor-based learning delivered to your door monthly for less than $35 per month!
Each month, your child will receive an exciting box addressed to them, packed with everything they need to complete incredible electronics and engineering projects. Designed for curious minds in 3rd through 8th grade, this hands-on class turns your home into a mini makerspace where imagination and discovery take center stage.
From building bots and crafting glowing circuits to engineering roller coasters and suspension bridges, each month’s project is carefully curated to ignite creativity and critical thinking. But this isn’t just about building cool stuff—each kit includes engaging, age-appropriate lessons that reveal the how and why behind the projects, turning play into powerful learning.
With our year-long program, your child will build real skills in problem-solving, design, experimentation, and following complex instructions—all while having an absolute blast. Every kit includes more than enough materials to complete the main challenge and continue exploring with extra experiments and open-ended building.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind chance to spark a lifelong love of STEM. Your child’s next adventure arrives in the mail—just for them—every month!

Can I purchase classes through Florida's STEP UP scholarship program? Yes! All SPARKGROUNDS kit-based classes, clubs, and events are available through the Marketplace for both FES-EO and PEP. Find our kit-based classes in the Marketplace by selecting "find providers" and searching for "SPARKGROUNDS."
What if the kits are too easy or too hard for my child? We offer kits at a variety of levels. Contact us to apply your unused subscription fees to a different level sequence. And know that you and your child can always reach out to us for help or with any questions.
How long should it take for my child to complete each box? Completion times vary widely based on a child's experience and knowledge. We design the kits to take several hours across several days, and every kit includes challenges and additional materials designed for continued exploration.
What if my child doesn't like the kits? Can I get a refund? We want your child to enjoy the kits. Should they not, you can either apply unused subscription fees to a different sequence or receive a prorated refund for kits that have not already shipped.
Can I purchase a specific kit out of sequence? Because our kits are offered as part of a designed sequence that builds on previously-established knowledge, we do not sell individual kits out of sequence.
Do I need any materials other than what is included in the kits? No. The kits provide everything needed to complete each project.
