🛠️ The Challenges After-School STEM Business Owners Face
Are You Facing These Common Challenges?
- Lack of Year-Round Robotics Options – Many programs only offer robotics during competition season, leaving students disengaged the rest of the year.
- Onboarding & Training New Staff is Difficult – Finding qualified staff is already challenging, but training them in robotics competitions without a structured program can be overwhelming.
- Low Student Enrollment & Retention – Without engaging programs that progress over time, students often leave after just one session.
- Limited Revenue Streams – Many programs rely solely on tuition fees, missing out on additional income from robotics kit sales, team registrations, and sponsorships.
- Difficulty Finding Engaging STEM Programs – Parents want hands-on robotics programs, but many existing options are either too advanced, too costly, or too time-consuming to set up.
- High Equipment & Setup Costs – Many robotics competitions require expensive startup investments, limiting growth potential.
