We have just become an affiliate partner with his company. Our excitement lies in the fact that Mr. Spangler is the real deal. He is not just a toy manufacturer but a STEM/science teacher.

Spangler’s career began as a science teacher in the Cherry Creek School District in Colorado. As part of a science outreach program, Spangler created a traveling science show targeted to elementary and middle school students in an effort to increase interest in science. In 1991, Spangler began traveling throughout Colorado and the surrounding states to present school assembly programs and teacher training workshops focused on using more inquiry-based science activities in the classroom.

Spangler presented over 4,500 science shows for students and teachers at approximately 900 schools throughout the U.S. from 1991-2003 when the tour ended.

His product lines are tailored to teachers and home school parents. These are quality products for the home or academic class room.

Spangler is also known for the Sick Science! YouTube channel, which received 170M views by 2020. The channel contains instructional videos on simple at home or classroom science experiments.  He also runs a TikTok account which has been verified and has amassed more than 1.2M followers and 16.5M likes.
