About
Our Founder Puts Science in the Hands of Children
Margaret Blauvelt’s jaw-dropping science experiments elicit curiosity and excitement, powerful motivators for learning. Ms. Blauvelt knows that when students are engaged, they build their minds.
Ms. Blauvelt started Spark a Playful Mind to inspire students to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for their own benefit and also for the ultimate strength of our society. Her belief? A strong grounding in these subject areas supports personal and societal health by developing individuals who are perceptive, analytical and creative. These children will build future inventions and solutions, a stronger economy, and a healthier environment. They will become stronger and healthier people.

- Support the development of the child as a capable, self-confident, self-directed and collaborative learner.
