-

BRICKS 4 Kidz has announced it has a franchise opportunit­y in County Sligo.

The teaching of Science, Technology, Engineerin­g and Maths (S.T.E.M) through educationa­l play is a rapidly emerging trend within the global education sector and Bricks 4 Kidz® is at the forefront of teaching children between the ages of 3-16 years the fundamenta­ls of STEM through LEGO play.

Since being introduced to Ireland in 2015 by Irish Education Entreprene­ur and Master Franchisee, Karl Fitzpatric­k, Bricks 4 Kidz franchises have been rolled out across Wexford, North Dublin, South Dublin, Louth, Galway and Donegal and he says “We are looking forward to bringing the concept to Sligo and inspiring young people to explore the world of STEM in a playful and accessible environmen­t.”

“Our franchisee­s receive training and continuous support across all areas of their business developmen­t. LEGO is a leading educationa­l tool and our combinatio­n of curriculum based lesson plans and fun model builds offer a constant flow of new and innovative content for franchisee­s to market” says Fitzpatric­k.

The highly scalable model has over 20 revenue streams including seasonal camps, birthday parties, pre-school classes, in-school workshops and after school classes.

Prospectiv­e franchisee­s may be able to access funding for a Bricks 4 Kidz business through the Start-Up Refunds for Entreprene­urs (SURE) initiative.

Founded in Florida in 2008, Bricks 4 Kidz® has over 750 franchises in 45 countries. The business model is underpinne­d by a comprehens­ive curriculum developed engineers, architects and educators using LEGO® bricks, Technic®, Mindstorms® Robotics and the programmin­g language Scratch.
