Are classroom laptop computers required for all Engineering For Kids curriculum fields?

According to the 2025 Engineering For Kids Franchise Disclosure Document, classroom laptop computers are not required for all curriculum fields. The FDD specifies that a set of 8 classroom computers is needed only for curriculum fields that require computer use. Therefore, whether you need to purchase these computers depends on the specific programs you intend to offer.

The estimated initial investment table includes a line item for "Classroom Laptop Computers" with an estimated cost ranging from $3,000 to $6,000. This cost is "As Agreed" and paid to outside suppliers as incurred. This reinforces that the computers are not a mandatory purchase for every Engineering For Kids franchise, but rather an optional expense depending on the chosen curriculum.

Prospective franchisees should consider which Engineering For Kids programs they plan to offer and whether those programs require computer use. If so, they should factor the cost of the laptop computers into their initial investment. It would be prudent to discuss with Engineering For Kids the specific curriculum requirements and the necessity of these computers during the due diligence process.
