Who is SparkFun?
SparkFun www.sparkfun.com is a privately held, 10 year-old company started by a college engineering student in his bedroom. We’re now 140 people strong! We’ve worked hard to get to where we are today without external investors or government assistance. We’re not doing this for the money – we will break even on nearly every city we visit. We’re doing this because we are very passionate about helping teachers and students learn the tools to help them become inspired as they move forward with their education.
SparkFun National Tour
The SparkFun National Tour has one goal – to share our passion for electronics with students and teachers across the country. We want to stop in 50 states on 50 dates, teaching lifelong skills such as programming, soldering, and building circuits along the way.
During our tour, we will teach workshops to students of all ages as well as teachers, librarians, after-school coordinators, and other educators, showing how electronics can be a vital part of education. Whether you’ve never played around with DIY electronics or you are a seasoned pro, we will give you the tools, knowledge, and skills you need to explore the wonderful world of how electronics fits with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math).
