Pilot now open for primary schools

Where kids build real things.

Spark gives every primary school child an AI companion that turns their ideas into working web apps — by talking, not coding. Built for classrooms in every corner of the world.

Free pilot No coding needed Works on low-end tablets Ages 5–11

The problem

The next generation will be defined by who can build with AI.

Most won't get the chance. Not because they lack talent — but because no one designed the tools for them. Spark was built for the child sharing a tablet with three classmates, on a spotty connection, in a school the rest of the world forgot.

The journey

A school year. Five milestones. One real thing built.

Spark isn't a one-off lesson. It's a structured year-long programme that turns ideas into something every child can point at and say: I made that.

01

The Big Idea

A child describes a real problem they care about. Sparky helps them shape it into something they could build.

02

First Draft

Through conversation, the first working version of the app appears on screen. No code. No drag-and-drop. Just talking.

03

Get Feedback

The app is shared with parents and classmates, who try it and leave Cheers — short, moderated messages of support.

04

Level Up

The child iterates based on feedback — adding features, fixing what doesn't work, learning what real building feels like.

05

Launch Day

The app is published with a real link. The child writes a 3-sentence pitch. Parents present at the school's Spark Showcase.

Who it's for

One platform. Three people. Built for each.

Spark works because every person around the child gets exactly what they need — and nothing they don't.

Meet Sparky

Building, but it feels like talking to a friend.

Sparky is the AI companion at the heart of Spark. It listens. It asks gentle questions. It builds what the child describes, right there on screen — and helps them shape ideas that feel too big into something they can actually finish.

  • Reads at the right level for any age, 5 to 11.
  • Never makes a child feel stuck. Always offers the next step.
  • Built on safe, vetted models with classroom guardrails.

Sparky

Online

I want to make an app for my granny. She always forgets to take her medicine.
What a kind idea! Should it remind her each day, or only when she needs to take a pill?
Each morning at 8! And in big letters because her eyes are not great.
Got it. I just made a button that reminds her at 8am, with extra-big writing. Want to add a happy face when she taps it?
Yes! And it should say I love you granny.

Time to take your pill!

I love you granny

The Gallery

The proof? It's the things kids make.

At the end of the year, every app a class has built lives in a public Gallery. Parents, friends, and the wider school community can try them and leave Cheers.

Our mission

Millions of children will grow up never having touched an AI tool.

Not because they lack imagination — but because they lack access. Young Founders Foundation exists to change that. Spark puts the power to build in the hands of every child, in every classroom, in every corner of the world.

Make your school one of the first.

We're partnering with a small number of primary schools for our pilot year. It's free. It's supported. And the kids you teach will have built something real by the end of it.
