"in spite of", "despite" are prepositions and "although", "though", "even though" are conjunction.
So correct would be
"in spite of", "despite" + noun
"although", "though", "even though" + clause
Although it is cold outside, she insists on keeping her coat on.
Despite warm weather, she kept her coat on.
"is spite of" and "despite" can also be used as adverbial constructions with -ing.
I managed to pass my exam, despite going out four times a week during the revision period.
