SPARKvue 60 Day Trial (Version 1.1.2)
SPARKvue software combines multimedia curriculum, real-time data collection, and powerful scientific analysis tools in an easy-to-use, icon-based user interface which is optimised for touchscreen environments. This trial offers a fully functional version of SPARKvue.
SPARKVue Update (Version 1.1.2)
This download updates licensed SPARKvue software running on a PC (either Apple or Windows).
Spark Update (Version 1.1.1)
This download updates the firmware onboard the SPARK Science Learning System.
There are 2 options to update the SPARK Science Learning System.
- 1. SPARK Science Learning System with labs (updates to version 1.1.1 and overwrites all SPARKlabs in Experiments and Saved Work directories)

SPARK Science Learning System Emulator (Version 1.1.2)
The SPARK Science Learning System Emulator is a 1:1 recreation of the SPARK Science Learning System’s screen with all of SPARK’s functionality. It doesn’t pull screens from the SPARK over the USB but rather allows the emulator software on the computer to do the processing while using the SPARK Science Learning System as an interface.
The window created on the computer screen is designed to look exactly like that of the SPARK Science Learning System. File operations when using the Emulator are limited to the Experiments and Saved Work folders.
