Where curiosity sparks tomorrow's explorers

AI is reshaping education, yet young children have largely been overlooked. Most tools today rely on chat-style interfaces that give quick answers rather than supporting the deep, curious, hands-on learning children aged six to twelve truly need. At this stage, children learn best through exploration, storytelling, creativity, and reflection. They need experiences that spark questions, guide thinking, and bring ideas to life in ways that match how their minds grow.

Sparkli was created for this gap. Instead of providing answers, Sparkli transforms a child's question into a rich, multimodal learning journey. Every topic becomes an interactive expedition with missions, explanations, simulations, creative tasks, and guided reflection. The platform blends learning science, Generative AI, thoughtful social design, and gentle gamification to make learning intuitive, joyful, and developmentally right.

With Sparkli, children step into experiences shaped around their curiosity. They explore ideas through stories, visuals, videos, debates, challenges, and creative moments that turn learning into an adventure. As they progress, they earn Sparks, unlock badges, and build imaginative digital worlds that grow with them. Social features add meaning and motivation, letting children challenge friends, remix creations, and celebrate progress together. Sparkli is designed not to answer questions for children, but to guide them through the process of discovering their own, helping them grow into confident, thoughtful, future-ready learners.

Our approach

What Makes Sparkli Different

Sparkli is built to make learning feel alive. Our multimodal engine instantly creates topic-aware learning environments such as sustainability labs, design studios, finance tools, narrative puzzles, or AI sandboxes. Behind the scenes, Sparkli builds a unique interest graph that understands what a child loves and a knowledge graph that tracks what they know. Together, these graphs shape the perfect path for each learner.

At the heart of Sparkli's design is a set of intentional balances. We personalize learning without losing the joy of shared experiences. We encourage creativity and agency while ensuring child safety and well-being. We use AI to augment learning and teaching, not automate or replace them. And we innovate with a focus on inclusion, keeping human relationships and real-world connection at the center of progress.

Sparkli focuses on the future-ready skills that matter most today, including financial literacy, design thinking, sustainability, AI literacy, entrepreneurship, creativity, global awareness, emotional intelligence, and health. Every expedition is designed to build real competence, not superficial engagement.

For educators & parents

Built for Classrooms and Families

Sparkli fits naturally into everyday learning, whether in school or at home. Teachers can assign expeditions, track mastery across skill domains, and view engagement patterns without adding extra preparation time. Skill radars highlight where a learner may need support or greater challenge. Parents receive simple weekly insights that show growth over time and offer a clear picture of what their child is exploring and achieving. Privacy is foundational, with COPPA and GDPR compliance, granular consent, safe-mode defaults, and human review built in at every step.
