About us
In 2003, CU student Nathan Seidle blew a power supply in his dorm room and found he could only order replacement parts in bulk. Since then, he has been on a mission to make electronics and supporting documentation available to individuals everywhere. Since the beginning, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably helping our world explore the edges of technology and achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to more than 2,000 open-source components and widgets, SparkFun offers online tutorials and training designed to help people use technology to solve problems, create products, and get creative. We're here to help you start something!

New Product Drop 💥 The SparkFun Qwiic Power Switch (QPS) gives you the power to manage your Qwiic devices more efficiently. Many Qwiic boards, especially high-power ones like our high-accuracy GNSS boards, draw significant current even in standby mode. With the QPS, you can selectively turn off these devices to conserve energy and extend your battery life. We've also released a Qwiic jumper adapter cable that comes pre-terminated with a female Qwiic JST connector on one end and female connectors on the other. This cable makes it easy to connect components with a Qwiic connector to the male pins on various development platforms. This cable is also a great way to attach a logic analyzer to your I2C system. And, for the big 🥧 fans out there, this Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is a 7" touchscreen display, ideal for interactive projects such as tablets, entertainment systems, and information dashboards. #RaspberryPi #RPi https://bit.ly/3Yx0Yas

Yesterday, we wrapped up our largest ever Leadership Institute for Transformative Education. In partnership with 16 school districts from 12 states, we dove into leadership, innovation, technology-enabled and career-connected learning, and many other topics that districts need to master to provide their students with a strong, competitive advantage. Our Institute concluded with an inspiring keynote from Deputy Superintendent Jackie Kapushion, Ed.D. and Chief of Communications and Global Impact Kerri McDermid, Ed.D. about the power of transformative leadership and why educators should focus on action and opportunities to deliver equitable outcomes. We feel invigorated after 3 days with outstanding public education leaders from across the county, including Peter Tragos, Ed.D., Shari Camhi, Mark Jontry, Adrienne Usher Ed.D., Chip Lucas, Roger Gose, Amanda Waldo, Jennifer Echols, Lyndsay Huntsman, Krestin Bahr, Merrill Kemp-Wilcox, Rene Sanchez, and many others. A very special thanks to our incredibly generous key sponsors, the LARRK FOUNDATION and ZOMA Foundation, as well as corporate sponsors Transfr, Magma Math, SparkFun Electronics, Experiential Robotics, and CDW.
