What are 'Programs' in the context of Engineering For Kids?

According to the 2025 Engineering For Kids Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Programs' encompass the educational activities offered by Engineering For Kids businesses. These activities include seminars, classes, camps, workshops, conferences, and programs in math, science, technology, and engineering. These programs utilize specific business formats, methods, procedures, designs, layouts, standards, and specifications, along with designated or approved items and products. Traditionally, these programs have been conducted in person.

For a prospective franchisee, understanding the scope of these 'Programs' is crucial as they form the core service offering of the Engineering For Kids franchise. Franchisees must adhere to the franchisor's standards, specifications, and teaching methods for these programs. The success of an Engineering For Kids business depends on the quality and consistency of these programs, which are delivered using proprietary materials, equipment, and supplies designed and prepared according to the franchisor's standards.

The FDD also mentions that Engineering For Kids businesses may offer and provide Programs at authorized locations, including third-party sites like community centers and schools, as well as at an EFK Center Location. Additionally, Programs can be offered at customers' homes or other facilities for special events, subject to the franchisor's approval. This flexibility in program delivery allows franchisees to reach a wider audience and cater to different customer needs.

Engineering For Kids franchisees are required to operate their businesses and provide all services and products according to the franchisor's business formats, methods, procedures, designs, layouts, standards, and specifications. This ensures consistency across all Engineering For Kids franchises and helps maintain the brand's reputation for quality educational programs.
