WE CREATE SPARKS IN LEARNING FOR TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS!
An idea was sparked in 2006 when we started as a provider of professional learning for teachers and schools as Intuyu Consulting – Empowering 21st Century Learning. Through our conversations and work with hundreds of schools we could see that transformation comes from school collaboration, connecting learning communities, developing student confidence and self-expression through Students’ leading the learning at conferences.
In 2017 the inaugural YOUTH ENTREPRENEURS AND STEAM AMBASSADORS CONFERENCE was held at Scotch College Melbourne with over 170 students and teachers from Victoria and Western Australia in attendance. This conference has been the spark to create Spark Education Conferences as a place to fulfill on our mission of igniting innovative and empowering learning opportunities.

“I attended the It takes a Spark Conference on Friday - it was wonderful! I really enjoyed the sessions and can see ways to incorporate them into incursions and excursions for blind and vision impaired students. It was also a great chance to network and see students participating in the activities. Thank you again.”
