MARKET

As technology evolves, the demand for engineers is increasing rapidly. There are consistently more computer science jobs than computer science graduates, leaving a whole new business opportunity for our franchise partners to address real world market challenges. In 2020, the number of unoccupied coding jobs will reach 1M.

Problem:

More Jobs than Students

Sources: College Board, Bureau of Labor Statistics, US National Science Foundation https://library.osu.edu/site/it/grace-hopper/more-jobs-than-students/

The market for children’s development and educational programs has increased dramatically over the last decade.

The rise in children’s learning apps and educational video games also demonstrates the growing trend for combining education and entertainment.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Young Engineers adheres to the edutainment philosophy of tutoring, the point where education and entertainment meet. Rather than learning through repetition and memorization, the students learn by taking an active part in their own educational process.

Young Engineers programs are based on the Spiral Learning method of education, where the lessons build upon one another, making every lesson inextricably linked to the next one while covering more layers of the technological subject.

To make education a memorable and unforgettable experience, the Young Engineers PBL educational method is applied in the Young Engineers programs. PBL can be broken into 3 sub-categories:

Problem-Based Learning

helps students learn through trial and error when building and operating their models, while witnessing the lesson’s subject in action through the engagement with their models.

Project-Based Learning

entails all of the organizational, planning, teamwork and presentation skills that are involved in creating a new model in every lesson.

Product-Based Learning

occurs when the students create a model that actively demonstrates what they have learned.

MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT

When joining the Young Engineers family, your students will get a head start in STEM fields while developing the following skills:

Creative thinking

Problem-solving skills

Motor skills

Spatial awareness

Algorithmic thinking

Communication skills

Teamwork skills

Confidence and rhetorical skills

Our focus is to develop the next generation of engineers and scientists by providing educational solutions in the early stages of students’ cognitive development.

We hope to see you join us in this important mission.

OPERATION

Young Engineers business is designed to maximize your startup cost and increase your operational flexibility

Start-up costs

We have created several business launching packages for you. Most of our franchisees grow their business by acquiring more programs and increasing the size of their protected territory. Our franchisees have the flexibility to grow their offered programs from earned profits, or from day one.

Control your overheads

As most of our franchises are hosted in places where students are already located i.e. within schools and recreational centers. They can choose either to own their own center or be hosted in centers like schools, kindergartens, and community centers. The benefit of such an approach helps new businesses keep their costs to a minimum and increase their market access to the maximum.

Staff flexibility

Unlike other franchises, a Young Engineers franchise can run as a big or small-scale business. You can act as a one-man-show and be both an instructor and a business director, or hire instructors to run many classes simultaneously. Our franchise advisors will help you make the right decisions based on your personal aspirations.

Flexible hours

Around 70%-100% of your business earnings will be generated from running our ongoing programs.

There are three major slots for operating your business during workdays.

Morning

within schools and kindergartens as part of the daily curriculum.

Noontime

within schools as an after-school program provider, or as part of a childcare activity schedule.

Afternoon

within schools or community centers as an after-school program provider.

Easy to Operate

Young Engineers is a business, in which you can easily adjust to its operational methodology. We have structured the business in a way that anyone with the right skills and passion can operate it successfully.

No business experience is required.

Young Engineers is a business that is suitable for new or experienced entrepreneurs.

No prior knowledge is required.

Most of our franchisees have no prior experience in education, LEGO® or technology, but rather are full of motivation to run a meaningful business.

Online Training

By offering various online training sessions, you and your employees can easily find the most convenient time slots to conduct training. Our training will cover anything that you need to know to run your business – from operation, systems, marketing, and pedagogy.

Constant Demand

Parents are always looking for ways to better their children’s education when it comes to acquiring 21st century skills. They are also required to find an educational framework for their children while they’re at work. From the child’s perspective, they’re all familiar with and love LEGO® from previous experiences. Finally, kindergartens, schools and community centers, are always interested in special afterschool activities for their community.

Routine Income

After you have been successfully approved by the hosting center, your classes will usually keep running on a yearly basis. You will not have to work hard to recruit new customers as the hosting center will help you do that.

Mobile Compact Teaching Unit (MCTU)

Young Engineers teaching packages are built in a way to minimize the space it takes in your car or office, but are also designed to maximize the amount of programs that you can run with the same equipment.

PROGRAMS

CLASS FLOW

Each lesson begins with an engaging theoretical discussion about a technological subject. Following the introduction, the Young Engineers Classroom Organizer and building instructions are handed out to the students. Students then build real world models, which implement the theory they have just learned. Such educational methods ensure that students have a firm grasp of the learned subjects, even if they might be perceived as advanced or complicated to understand for us, the adults.

Once the construction of the basic model is completed, students are encouraged to ‘enhance’ their models by using advanced stages, or by bringing their creativity and problem-solving skills into their creation.

At the end of class, students take apart their models and place the pieces back into their Young Engineers Classroom Organizer. This adds another layer of development to their fine motor skills and teaches students about responsibility.

ONGOING PROGRAMS

Our franchise partners enjoy a wide target customer range of between the ages 4-15. Using the MCTU (Mobile, Compact, Teaching Unit), you may easily operate any of the given programs according to your choice. Each of our ongoing programs contain at least 36 lessons.

Young Engineers courses are designed to meet students’ common cognitive abilities, and to encourage them to reach their inner potential. Thanks to this educational approach, the Young Engineers courses are suitable for anyone from the average student through gifted and special needs students.
