e² Young Engineers business opened a new chapter in my life. I wanted to open a business to give children a great experience to learn. For me, since signing up as the first UK franchisee in 2013, I have not looked back. I kept growing as well as learning. The best reward is to see the childrens face light up when they complete building their models and get to play with it. The sessions are always filled with children enjoying playing and working with others."- Smita Shah , Middlesex, United Kingdom
