The demand for STEAM education has never been stronger, and Snapology is helping to meet that need in communities across the country. As part of the Unleashed Brands family, Snapology offers hands-on, play-based learning experiences that utilize LEGO bricks, robotics, and coding to spark children’s curiosity and creativity. Its programs make abstract concepts tangible, encouraging kids to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math in ways that are both fun and meaningful. By blending enrichment with play, Snapology empowers children to develop the confidence and skills necessary to envision themselves as future innovators.
This work is vital at a time when interest in STEAM careers continues to rise. Across the U.S. and globally, an increasing number of students are pursuing science and technology-related degrees, and employers continue to signal a growing need for workers with technical expertise combined with creativity. In fact, STEM occupations in the U.S. are projected to grow by 11% from 2020 to 2031, outpacing the overall job market. Workers in these fields also earn higher salaries, with a median annual salary nearly $20,000 greater than that of their non-STEM peers.
Another encouraging trend is the increasing number of girls in STEM fields. Women represented just 8% of the STEM workforce in 1970. By 2019, that share had increased to 27%, and by 2021 it reached 35%. Around the world, the momentum continues: in India, female enrollment in engineering has increased by 120% over the last three years, while in the UK, university acceptances for math and engineering have risen by more than 10%. Surveys also indicate that more than half of girls now express interest in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Progress is evident, although challenges persist—especially when it comes to building confidence and ensuring equal access to opportunities.
Snapology’s flexible mobile ownership model makes it easier than ever for franchise owners to deliver this type of programming where it’s needed most. Because learning can be brought directly into schools, libraries, community centers, and even birthday parties, Snapology breaks down barriers to access and expands its reach across neighborhoods. That mobility not only strengthens the business model for franchisees but also ensures more children have the chance to benefit from engaging, confidence-building STEAM experiences.
The result is a win for both children and communities. Students discover that STEAM learning is approachable, enjoyable, and connected to their everyday lives, while local franchise owners position themselves as leaders who are investing in the future of the next generation. As demand for STEAM continues to grow, Snapology is proving that when education is delivered with creativity and flexibility, it can significantly impact the trajectory of entire communities.
