TL;DR: Turn any location into a classroom by setting your travel destinations. SparkAI automatically finds local activities and generates lessons that match your family values and your child's learning goals.
Welcome to Adventures—the worldschooling heart of LearnSpark. This feature is designed to take education beyond the four walls of your home and turn the whole world into your classroom. Whether you are traveling across the globe or exploring your own neighborhood, SparkAI helps you find meaningful experiences.
Instead of spending hours searching on Google, SparkAI does the hard work for you by looking at your current location and where you are going next. It then creates a LearnSpark experience tailored to your children's interests and your family's unique values.
Setting Your Current and Next Destination
To start location-based learning, you need to let SparkAI know where your family is located. This takes less than a minute on the Adventures page.
Navigate to the Adventures tab on your dashboard sidebar.
Click on Destination Settings.
Enter your Current Location. This tells SparkAI what is immediately available to you for field trips and quick lessons.
Enter your Next Destination and the dates you plan to be there. This allows you to plan ahead before you even pack your bags!
💡 Good to know: SparkAI is smart! It refreshes your activity list on an intelligent schedule based on the length of your trip and the changing seasons. This ensures you always have fresh options that make the most of the local weather.
Discovering Activities for Your Family
Once your location is set, click the Discover tab. This isn't just a basic search; it creates a curated list of activities grouped by what is "Most Likely to be Ideal" for your specific family.
Local Context: If you are in Rome, SparkAI might suggest a history lesson on the Colosseum. If you are in Florida, it might focus on coral reefs.
Shortlisting: Click to save activities that catch your eye. This "saves" the idea so it doesn't disappear when the list refreshes later.
Add to Schedule: When you add an activity to your calendar, SparkAI creates automatic planning tips. It will tell you the likely weather, what to pack, and even provide educational talking points!
Planning Quick Activities and Lessons
If you have a specific idea in mind—like visiting a nearby forest—the Quick Activity tool lets you plan it instantly. You can choose themes like "nature" or "adventure."
If you select the Learning Activity toggle, SparkAI will tailor the guide to include educational goals. This helps you turn a fun outing into a formal learning moment that pairs perfectly with your child's Mastery Profile.
⚠️ Heads up: Location searches, adventure planning, and generating lessons all use SparkAI Credits. This covers the work the platform does to match local history and geography to your student's learning path.
Turning Adventures into Progress
Learning doesn't just happen during "school hours." After your fun day out, remember to use the Log Activity function on your dashboard. This records the real-world experiences your child had while traveling.
By logging these off-platform activities, SparkAI updates your student's Mastery Profile with their new skills and knowledge. Great job—you're making the world their classroom!
