Gockley joined IDEA Lab Kids in 2012, working at a corporate location in Houston, and then signed on in 2016 to open his own location in Austin. Coming from a strong background working with youth, he was intrigued by the opportunity to provide STEAM enrichment and joined IDEA Lab Kids to help develop a fun and unique curriculum to better support these subjects.&nbsp;The franchisee grew up in Houston and attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Upon graduating with a business degree, he worked as a substitute teacher and athletic coach at multiple locations for a few years until he discovered IDEA Lab Kids. Now, he is expanding further into the Austin–Cedar Park area with his newest location located at 13642 North Highway 183, Austin, Texas 78750, which is expected to open this summer.“I have worked in business and with kids my whole life, so this brand really puts those two aspects together to make this my passion,” said Gockley. “I have been with this brand from the very beginning, and I believe strongly in its success. I couldn’t be happier to be expanding in Austin, and I’m excited for what is to come.”As more families look for ways to accelerate their children’s learning post-COVID, the expansion of IDEA Lab Kids has proved to be an invaluable source of educational support to children without additional strain on the parents. Gockley has been amazed by the progress that he has witnessed in his students, particularly in subjects that he would have previously deemed to be challenging and less interesting for students.&nbsp;“It’s incredible to see the kids enjoying topics that I always disliked when I was in school,” said Gockley. “Our curriculum really allows students to have those ‘ah-ha!’ moments, and you can see them finally grasp concepts in real time that they have been struggling with. We are able to sneak math into our programming all the time by creating lessons that are fun and engaging and it really resonates with students. That’s the beauty of STEAM — it’s constantly going to be evolving into new things, and thanks to the strong team of curriculum writers at IDEA Lab Kids, we are able to offer a fresh curriculum that changes to reflect these new concepts.”Not only does Gockley offer enrollment at his locations, but he also takes IDEA Lab On-the-Go&nbsp;SM&nbsp;&nbsp;directly to schools and community centers.&nbsp; His staff provides the same lessons, including activities where students engage in computer programming, scientific experimentation, engineering design, and art projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;IDEA Lab Kids franchise owners receive top-notch support through training, site selection, cutting-edge STEM+Arts content, and ongoing operational needs led by an expert team of education-minded professionals. In the enrichment learning space, franchisees can stand out thanks to their unique STEAM-focused approach, emphasis on creativity, and easy-to-access remote instruction. No matter where a student is or how they best learn, their curiosity and intellectual development are fostered within IDEA Lab Kids programs.“We’re excited to be opening this new location with Adam,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/devina-bhojwani-3452053/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-first-franchisee-set-to-expand-in-austin-summer-2721928" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Devina Bhojwani</a>, President of IDEA Lab Kids. “He has been with us since the beginning, and his passion for the brand is evident. We look forward to continuing to develop across Austin with him.”The franchise fee of $35,500 provides an assigned territory for establishing a location and for offering IDEA Lab On-the-GoSM.
