Our new #RTK Torch has it all: millimeter accuracy, tilt compensation, and a waterproof enclosure. Similar features to what you'll find on professional-grade surveying devices -- we just made it faster, more precise, and a lot more economical.

About us
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. We're here to help you start something!

As we wrap-up our 9th year of STEAM tours in rural Wyoming, we're sending huge thanks to students, teachers and community partners. It was a magical 2 weeks of creating with 200 middle schoolers and fantastic teaching partners. Our goals this year were to boost engagement through arts-integration, build new engineering & technology skills, and adapt programs to enhance curricular goals in science and STEM classes. Without a doubt, this year's highlight was Soft Tech! Kids had such a blast making their own plush toys enhanced with sewable technology. Huge gratitude to the Pinedale Fine Arts Council & Marathon for again supporting STEAM in rural schools. BTW: If you're looking to explore Soft Tech, we highly recommend SparkFun Electronics in Boulder, Colorado. #steam #steameducation #stem #makerspace #makered #engineering #playbasaedlearning #immersivePD #wySTEAM
