Our Story
Engineering For Kids® began in 2009 as a small afterschool club where students explored engineering through hands-on projects and competitions. What started in Virginia quickly grew as more parents saw how their children came alive while solving engineering challenges. By 2011, we expanded through franchising to bring quality STEM education to communities across the globe.
Our Mission
We believe engineering education should be available to every child. Through fun, engaging programs, we spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among students ages 4 to 14. Our goal is simple: to inspire the next generation to pursue STEM careers by showing them how exciting problem-solving can be.
What Sets Us Apart
- Age-appropriate curriculum that builds real engineering skills
- Programs aligned with educational standards
- Hands-on projects that connect STEM concepts to everyday life
- Safe, encouraging environment where creativity comes alive and flourishes
- Small group instruction
- Self-guided and hands-on
STEM Programs That Inspire
From robotics to aerospace, our programs bring engineering to life. Watch your child build skills and confidence through hands-on projects that make learning exciting. Our engineers make connections between real-world problems, their communities, and their schools to further their development in the literacy of science, technology, engineering, and math. We’re confident that adopting this philosophy will help to transform education from an ordinary classroom experience to an exploratory, learning-centered environment of discovery and problem-solving.
