SPARKvue wins a 2017 CODiE Award!

This award is a great indicator of how much SPARKvue has grown as an application and the continual development it has undergone. It actually won a CODiE seven years ago when it was only available on the SPARK Science Learning System handheld.

Since that time SPARKve moved to become a desktop application on Windows and Mac computers and then made the leap to mobile. It is now available on Chromebooks, iPads & iPhones, as well as Android tablets and smartphones. This year's CODiE award largely driven by SPARKvue's relatively new ability to coordinate with our line of wireless sensors for datalogging experiments. We'd like to thank the CODiE judges as well as our hardworking software team for all their effort.
