TL;DR: You can personalize your lessons and find nearby activities by setting your location and measurement system in your profile settings.
LearnSpark is designed to support families and educators all over the world. We want your learning to feel personal and relevant to your real life!
To make sure everything feels right, SparkAI adapts to your specific location. It handles everything from how words are spelled to which local landmarks appear in your stories. Setting this up is the first step toward a great LearnSpark experience.
How to Update Your Location and Units
You can update your preferences at any time. This is very helpful if you are moving, traveling, or just want to change how your lessons look. Great job keeping your profile current!
Go to Settings.
Select the Profile or General Settings section.
In the Travel & Location area, find the Country and Region menus to choose where you are located.
Select your preferred Measurement System (Metric or Imperial).
Click the Save button to update your account.
⚠️ Heads up: Changing your region will change how future lessons are written. Double-check your measurement settings to make sure your science experiments and weather forecasts stay accurate!
How Personalization Works
When you update these settings, SparkAI recalibrates your LearnSpark experience in several ways:
Spelling & Grammar: It switches between UK English (like "colour") and US English (like "color") based on your region.
Measurement Systems: It uses Metric (meters, kilograms) or Imperial (inches, pounds) for STEM lessons and science experiments.
Cultural Relevance: SparkAI includes local history and regional landmarks in stories to make learning fun and familiar.
Compliance: Your activity logs and reports will better align with regional expectations, making it easier to create portfolios.
💡 Good to know: Setting your location correctly helps SparkAI update your student’s mastery profile with the right regional standards and skills!
Worldschooling and Adventures
Your location settings are critical for the Adventures page. This feature is all about making your education local to where you are right now.
When you set your current location and next destination in Settings, the Discover tab finds activities in those areas. SparkAI picks these based on your family values and your children’s interests.
The platform refreshes this list on a regular schedule. As seasons change or new events pop up, your list updates so you always have fresh options for your travel party!
