The brand has established itself across North America in its first decade of instruction, developing awareness and insights for the modern priorities of childhood education.To celebrate, participating IDEA Lab Kids locations will open doors for a free event for both children and adults. Additionally, there will be a 48-hour special anniversary promotion where IDEA Lab Cards will be available for 50% off starting on November 6th. Restrictions apply but interested parties can contact their local IDEA Lab Kids for details.&nbsp;“We are so excited for this celebration of not only our brand but also national awareness for our services and the benefits of STEAM education,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/devina-bhojwani-3452053/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-to-celebrate-10-years-of-fostering-tomorrows-leaders-and-innovators-through-steam-2717034" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Devina Bhojwani</a>, the co-owner and president of IDEA Lab Kids. “Through a bunch of challenges, including a global pandemic and an ever-changing educational landscape, our brand has a team standing behind our education to make sure kids, parents and teachers can continue to push the limits of STEAM education.”With extremely coincidental timing, National STEAM Day, celebrated on November 8th, was acknowledged as a means to promote the importance of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematical skills as a comprehensive package for high-quality learning. “There are a lot of components that go into STEAM education, and as we continue to develop our practices and instruction, we’re finding that more and more people are interested in the service we provide,” Bhojwani added. “Having our anniversary coincide with National STEAM Day is something that makes us proud. We are passionate about the intersection of the arts with STEM principles, and the possibility of disrupting traditional educational styles.”The state of STEAM education is far from where it was when IDEA Lab Kids first began taking students — and in many educational fields, it was even missing a letter.“When the brand first started 10 years ago, STEM was the buzziest of buzzwords,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gockley-a50a0522/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-to-celebrate-10-years-of-fostering-tomorrows-leaders-and-innovators-through-steam-2717034" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adam Gockley</a>, a full-time owner at IDEA Lab Kids in Austin, Texas. “Now, STEM education is progressing to where many people know what it is.”It’s not just science. Arts have been added into the IDEA Lab Kids’ ‘STEAM’ model geared to provide a comprehensive approach for childhood education. It is just one of the many ways that the brand has continued to elevate and update its formulas for educating bright minds through 10 years of service.This resiliency was tested during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was an insistence to adapt to new provisions that kept the brand affluent, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenhywong/?originalSubdomain=ca&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-to-celebrate-10-years-of-fostering-tomorrows-leaders-and-innovators-through-steam-2717034" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Karen Wong</a>, an IDEA Lab Kids campus director in Richmond Hill, Ontario. “Many kids thrive through group activities, collaboration and speaking when they are able. I believe our COVID-19 curriculum provisions didn’t take away too much from those forms of learning,” she said.More recently, IDEA Lab Kids has further developed its educational models by incorporating programs that allow easy access to remote instruction. “Getting to work with new digital platforms is a huge plus for us,” said Nishita Jariwala, the founder of an IDEA Lab Kids location in Richmond, Texas. “It gives us the tools for even our youngest students to think deeply about experiments from any location.”&nbsp;“We’ve been adaptive, we’ve been integrative and we’ve been on top of making sure our students have everything they need to be successful,” Bhojwani said. “As we celebrate 10 years of a sustainable model, we’re even more excited to see what the next 10 holds.”The startup costs for an IDEA Lab Kids franchise range from $98,100 to $271,000. The franchise fee is $35,500.

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.
