The new platform introduces several key features, including enhanced user access controls, and the addition of Spanish-language video content, making it more versatile and accessible than ever before.The update was primarily driven by the need to accommodate the growing demands of larger school districts.“What started the update was the need to be able to scale the platform to serve larger districts,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/devina-bhojwani-3452053/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-rolls-out-updated-steam-on-demand-platform-to-better-support-large-school-districts-and-diverse-learners-2727526" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Devina Bhojwani</a>, president and co-owner of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/info">IDEA Lab Kids</a>. “One of the things that we’ve done with our platform is we’re a lot more efficient now. We can have up to 50,000 users using the platform simultaneously, which helps us serve the needs of larger districts.”With contracts often covering entire districts, which may include multiple schools, the ability to support a vast number of users without compromising performance is crucial. According to Bhojwani, the average elementary school site has about 20 to 30 teachers and the platform’s new capacity ensures that even the largest districts can seamlessly integrate and manage their educational resources.<h3>Multilingual Support for Greater Accessibility</h3>In a move towards greater inclusivity, the platform now includes bilingual video content. This feature is particularly valuable for dual-language schools and those with a significant number of minority students.&nbsp;“We also have the videos now in English and Spanish, which is another big feature that schools and districts are really appreciating," Bhojwani said. “The teacher has the flexibility to toggle between playing it in English or playing it in Spanish, whichever language they choose. The message of making it equitable and accessible for everybody is huge for us as an organization.”With these updates, IDEA Lab Kids continues to lead the way in innovative educational solutions, ensuring that schools and districts have the tools they need to provide high-quality STEAM education to all students.<h3>Enhanced Role-Based Access Control</h3>In addition to supporting more users, the updated platform introduces role-based access controls, offering administrators greater oversight and control.“It makes it a lot more transparent for the admins,” said Bhojwani. “They have access to see what all the users are doing, when they last logged in, how many minutes they spent on the platform — there’s a lot more accountability and transparency.”This level of detailed reporting and control empowers administrators to manage their accounts more effectively, ensuring that the platform is used to its fullest potential across the district.<h3>Educational Tools</h3>IDEA Lab Kids has also embraced digital intelligence to enhance the platform’s educational offerings. We have created new assessments, including fill-in-the-blank exercises, crossword searches and formative quizzes.&nbsp;“All of those were created to give the facilitator expansion activities and lessons they can do with the students,” said Bhojwani.&nbsp;With these updates, IDEA Lab Kids continues to lead the way in innovative educational solutions, ensuring that schools and districts have the tools they need to provide high-quality STEAM education to all students.The franchise fee of $35,500 provides an assigned territory for establishing a location and for offering IDEA Lab On-the-Go?. The startup costs for an IDEA Lab Kids franchise can range from $163,000 to $465,000.

It delivers hands-on lessons in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.&nbsp;When&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danny-santana-tulare-union-h-s-54b322111/">Danny Santana</a>, head of California’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tcsdk8.org/">Tulare County&nbsp;</a>Office of Education, first received a phone call about STEAM on Demand, he wasn’t necessarily looking for a new platform. But he was open to possibilities.“A couple of years ago, I was in my office one afternoon and a phone call came through,” Santana said. “One of STEAM on Demand’s reps was calling and introduced themselves. In that conversation about what they do and what they have to offer, I became interested and agreed to another meeting. I wanted to see the product and a demonstration.”What began as a simple follow-up meeting quickly evolved into a county-wide transformation. After seeing a demonstration of the platform’s standards-aligned, project-based video lessons for TK-8 students, Santana knew he had found something different.“I became very intrigued and impressed,” he said. “I loved what they had to offer and how user-friendly it was. The videos, the insights, everything.”For Santana, the appeal wasn’t just the content itself — it was how accessible it was for his team. Tulare County’s expanded learning programs rely heavily on young college students and facilitators, many of whom do not have formal teaching backgrounds.“The hands-on activities, the enrichment activities — the fun stuff that still follows the standards we provide,” Santana said. “We can do it in a much more hands-on learning environment, and the lessons are very staff-friendly. Most of my staff that works with the kids are young college students, and so having the foundation has been great. The staff is really just the facilitator of the lessons.”Santana oversees programs that span 12 school districts and 30 school sites, serving diverse communities with varying levels of funding. He was determined to ensure that every student could benefit from the same opportunities.According to Santana, the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/lyricos-learnings-steam-on-demand-is-a-stem-plus-arts-platform-that-districts-and-after-school-programs-find-easy-to-roll-out-2722339">STEAM on Demand</a> team met that challenge head-on. “STEAM on Demand worked with me in terms of being able to find a good price that enabled all the districts to have access,” he said. “It was a process, but through those conversations, I got a sense that they were really there for our students, regardless of funding.”What started as interest at a single site quickly grew into a full-scale rollout. Today, the platform supports more than 150 staff members across Tulare County’s expanded learning programs.The onboarding process included in-person training and collaborative sessions.“We had a couple of hiccups with training, but I was able to communicate that with the STEAM on Demand team, and they were very supportive,” Santana said. “They pivoted and listened to some of our suggestions, and we’ve been able to hit a home run because of that support. They are very supportive and solutions-oriented.”For Carolyn Taylor, STEAM Project Specialist and part of the STEAM on Demand team, the Tulare County relationship reflects what the platform is all about:&nbsp;collaboration.“The relationship we have with Danny has been amazing,” Taylor said. “He’s very open and very receptive to all the input we give him and all the support we give each other. He’s a great leader and I believe that makes a big difference.”The&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/idea-lab-kids-rolls-out-updated-steam-on-demand-platform-to-better-support-large-school-districts-and-diverse-learners-2727526#franchisor-stories">results inside classrooms and afterschool programs</a> speak volumes. “Our students love it,” Santana said. “We use the platform at least two times a week, but if sites and programs want to do it more, they are more than welcome to. It’s been really great in terms of student engagement.”Looking ahead, Tulare County is exploring ways to extend that engagement beyond the classroom.“We are currently working on some opportunities to bridge our families and set some things up to bring our parents in and have an evening where they can do a STEAM on Demand exercise and activity,” Santana said. “There are a lot of possibilities for the future, but it’s been great so far.”Taylor echoes that excitement for what’s next. “We are excited for the ongoing relationship and the ongoing hopes for growth, not just within the county but also within the school districts they serve and support,” she said. “Being able to have those relationships with the superintendents, as well as the teams there at the site, is great. It’s all about continuing to grow as a team and as a company as well.”ABOUT STEAM ON DEMAND:STEAM on Demand® is a technology platform that offers science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) interactive lessons “on demand” that are designed to be used in a collaborative classroom setting or online.
