STEM SPARK SOLUTIONS

Three pillars. One mission.

Registered in April 2024, STEM Spark Solutions applies engineering rigor to the problems that shape communities.

01

Energy and infrastructure consulting

Energy audits, regulatory strategy and infrastructure advisory grounded in utility, academic and industrial experience.

02

Disaster resilience technology

The SPARK platform gives governments and communities a shared view of hazards and a faster path to response.

03

STEM education and publishing

Books, school programmes and national outreach that bring science and engineering to Jamaican students.
FEATURED PLATFORM

SPARK

SPARK is disaster and emergency management software. Communities report hazards through a mobile app, and government and admin dashboards run on the same backend.
Features are stackable. Solar and satellite community hubs are optional. The pilot targets communities in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, and the community app is published on iOS and Android.

AI hazard classification

Reports are sorted by hazard type to speed triage.

Live GPS hazard map

Agencies see where hazards are as they are logged.

Automated situation reports

Decision makers receive structured updates without manual compilation.

Solar charging and satellite connectivity

Optional community hubs keep people connected when the grid and networks fail.
WRITING AND BOOKS

Energy and resilience, explained plainly.

Articles for global audiences, and books for young readers.
