About Engineering for Kids

Engineering for Kids offers a suite of programs for children ages 4 to 14 introducing them to science, technology, engineering and math through a variety of workshops all aimed at developing problem solving skills. Programs include after school programs, evening classes, in-school field trips, workshops, birthday parties, home-school programs, scouts workshops, and pre-school programs.
In order to impact as many youth as possible, Engineering for Kids began franchising as a way to spread the program across the country. Engineering for Kids presents a low-barrier opportunity with room to grow, as the brand plans to add between 50-60 new locations in 2013. Our franchisees share Roberts' passion for the program, understanding the need for STEM education. An ideal Engineering for Kids franchisee is someone who is well connected in their community, a parent, or an individual who has a passion for educating children.
