Report Overview

Young Engineers is an Israeli-founded STEM education franchise that uses proprietary LEGO-based programs to teach engineering, coding, and robotics to children aged 4–15. Operating through after-school, holiday, and in-school program delivery models, the franchise offers a low-capital, home-based entry point into the growing children's enrichment education sector. With approximately 25 territories in Australia and a global presence spanning 50+ countries, Young Engineers targets the intersection of parental demand for STEM skills and the scalable economics of mobile education delivery. This report provides a comprehensive, independent analysis of the Young Engineers franchise opportunity in Australia.
