Medtronic Spark Connects Young Innovators to Hands-On Experiences in Health Tech

More than 200 fifth graders from the Columbia Heights School District stepped inside Medtronic Operational Headquarters for a hands-on Medtronic Spark experience that brought the world of health tech to life.

Throughout the morning, students explored interactive activities that challenged them to think creatively, collaborate with their peers, and discover how innovation can help solve real health challenges. The experience offered an early look at how technology, engineering, and problem-solving come together to improve lives.

Held in May 2026, the event was made possible with the support of over 200 Medtronic employee volunteers who helped guide students through the activities and shared their passion for innovation in healthcare.
