About

Joshua Rastetter is a lifelong gamer and product visionary with over 15 years of experience in tech and software development. His mission is to transform children's relationship with learning — from something tedious into a source of joy and wonder. 

 

Joshua brings a unique perspective on how interactive experiences can revolutionize education, drawing on his own gaming experiences from arcade cabinets, to Nintendo in the living room, to the cutting-edge modern platforms, and everything in between.

 

His path into educational innovation became deeply personal when his daughter was diagnosed with ADHD during the pandemic, leading to his discovery of undiagnosed ADHD and Dyscalculia. These experiences gave Joshua profound empathy for the challenges neurodivergent children face in traditional education systems, fueling his commitment to create more inclusive learning approaches.

 

At Spark Launch, Joshua combines his gaming passion with product expertise to develop engaging, strength-based learning tools that harness the intrinsic motivation and immersion that games naturally provide. He has witnessed firsthand how game-based learning approaches have benefited his children, igniting his mission to share these powerful tools with families everywhere.

 

With a degree in Management Information Systems and a proven track record of building successful products, Joshua is dedicated to creating accessible solutions that celebrate diverse thinking styles. His vision is to make a world where learning is an adventure that every child looks forward to—especially those whose minds work differently from the norm.
