Problem Based Learning Institutes

Learn Something New, Somewhere New

Who says professional learning can’t feel like an adventure?

This season, come play with purpose at MindSpark Learning’s Problem-Based Learning Institutes: a 3-day experience designed to level up your teaching while you soak up the sights.

From buzzing cityscapes to the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, we’re taking PD on the road. You’ll dive into our powerful PBL methodology and STEM framework, built to blend academic standards with real-world problem-solving that sparks curiosity and student voice.

You’ll learn how to co-create interdisciplinary learning experiences that are bold, community-connected, and fun to teach.

Want a little extra spark? Select locations include a bonus half-day of personalized coaching for just $50 — because your growth deserves the same thoughtfulness you give your students.

MindSpark Facilitator Trainings

Learn, Lead, and Reset — Beyond the Conference Room

This isn’t your average training — it’s a reset for how you...

lead conversations that matter.
design trainings people actually remember.
facilitate real, lasting change, without losing the fun.

MindSpark’s Facilitator Training is built for HR leaders, program managers, and workforce directors who are ready to trade “buy-in” for believe in. Ready to create learning experiences that lift people up and light the way forward?

Great facilitation starts with asking better questions—the kind that spark insight, invite connection, and turn everyday conversations into “a-ha!” moments.

It’s how you shift from running meetings → to creating movements.
