Flinn Scientific, based in Batavia, Illinois, has spent nearly 50 years helping teachers turn “wait, what?” into “ohhh, I get it.” We exist to help educators ignite wonder through hands-on discovery - because students don’t just learn science, they experience it. From our roots in lab chemicals to a full ecosystem of STEM, safety, and instructional solutions, we’ve grown alongside the real needs of real classrooms. We understand what teachers are up against: limited time, tight budgets, and a room full of students who need something to click. That’s where we come in - transforming complexity into clear, actionable solutions that make ambitious teaching possible. And because nothing great happens without trust, safety is built into everything we do - so educators can push boundaries with confidence. We’re more than a supplier - we’re a partner in sparking curiosity and fueling discovery. Join us and help create more of those “lightbulb” moments.

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.
