SparkQuest is a platform…
SparkQuest started as a pandemic project for our family. Now we’re growing it into a online community open to all so we can share our passion for gaming, systems thinking, and integral education. We learn by doing the things that fill us with passion and purpose.
Our community uses gamification and project-based learning to teach all sorts of things in a Minecraft-simulated world. Players can learn STEM and social sciences while playing, and may also learn digital art, coding, and creative writing as they contribute.
