IDEA Lab Kids was founded as a way for kids to explore their love of science, technology, engineering, art, and math subjects. The Houston-based education brand has positioned itself to become a leader in the growing STEAM education space with a cutting-edge curriculum, proven business model and strong franchisee support infrastructure.

Investing in STEAM is Good Business

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, over the past 10 years, STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – jobs grew three times as fast as non-STEM jobs and STEM workers commanded higher wages, earning 26% more than their non-STEM counterparts.

Research shows that in the near future 2.4 million STEM jobs in the US will go unfilled. Just in the next decade, the number of STEM jobs will grow 13 percent, compared to 9 percent for non-STEM jobs—with positions in computer science, engineering, and advanced manufacturing leading the way.

By making STEAM a focus, we are preparing a society that is more informed on complex issues. Even if the next generation chooses to not pursue these fields as a career, they will undoubtedly bring many of these skills to whatever they end up doing! According to the same U.S. Department of Commerce report, “STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations.”
