    “Amazing”: Tenn. CTE Teacher Has High Praise for Rubin Spark

    Jason McDonough, a CTE teacher in Coffee County, Tennessee, has explored Spark, Rubin’s new conversation simulation tool, and sums up the experience in one word:

    “Amazing.”

    McDonough and his students in a career exploration class have used Spark to talk with virtual, AI-powered professionals about their jobs and held simulated conversations that focus on ethics, teamwork and communication.

    Spark is ideal for students in grades 6-12 and post-secondary programs. The platform provides on-demand access to virtual professionals knowledgeable about all career fields and the importance of employability skills.

    Listen to Jason share his experience!

    At the end of each simulated conversation, Spark provides an assessment on the student’s performance.

    The classroom will never be the same.

    New Mexico Teacher and Students Give High Mark for Rubin Spark

    When Rubin Spark came on the scene in March 2026, Gary Grammer and his students in Las Cruces, New Mexico were among the first people to give the product a test drive.

    Spark is a platform for simulated conversation with professionals in all CTE pathways. Scenarios include a “day in the life” discussion and mock interview.

    Grammer said his students took to Spark immediately and enjoyed the free-flow nature of the conversations. The AI-generated “Spark mentors” ask probing questions and take the students deep into the particular field.
