About Science Made Fun

Turn Curiosity into Discovery — Build a Business That Makes an Impact

Science Made Fun is a hands-on science enrichment franchise with more than 30 years of experience bringing engaging, educational experiences directly to children, schools, and communities.

For more than three decades, we've turned curiosity into discovery by giving children the opportunity to experience science for themselves. Originally established as High Touch High Tech, our franchise system has grown and evolved alongside the communities, educators, families, and children we serve.

Today, Science Made Fun represents the next chapter of that story, a refreshed brand built on decades of experience, proven programming, and a simple belief that has been at the heart of what we do from the beginning: science is meant to be explored.

Our scientists transform classrooms, camps, after-school programs, community spaces, and special events into places of discovery. Children aren't simply told how science works - they experiment, investigate, ask questions, problem-solve, and experience those unforgettable “I figured it out!” moments for themselves.

For franchise owners, that mission becomes a flexible, community-based business backed by an established franchise system, extensive hands-on programming, comprehensive resources, and more than 30 years of experience in science enrichment.

A Business Built Around Discovery

At Science Made Fun, we believe hands-on exploration can inspire a lifelong relationship with learning.

Our franchisees bring that experience directly into their communities through:

  • In-school science experiences

  • After-school enrichment

  • Preschool programs

  • Summer and school-break camps

  • Birthday parties and special events

  • Adult living facility programming

  • Community and family programming

  • Educational partnerships and special opportunities

Our mobile model means we bring the science to them. Rather than relying on a traditional brick-and-mortar center, franchisees build relationships with the schools, organizations, educators, and families already serving children throughout their territories.

That creates opportunities to develop multiple revenue streams while building a recognizable educational brand within the local community.

More Than 30 Years of Experience Behind Your Business

Our franchise owners benefit from an established system shaped by more than 30 years of delivering hands-on science programming, supporting local franchise businesses, developing educational content, and adapting to the changing needs of schools, families, and communities.

That history gives new owners something incredibly valuable: a foundation to build from.

You aren't creating an enrichment business from scratch. You're bringing an established concept into your community with training, programming, operational resources, marketing support, and an experienced team behind you.

Make Science Your Business

You don't need to be a scientist to own a Science Made Fun franchise.

We're looking for entrepreneurs who are excited about building relationships, developing their local market, leading a team, and creating meaningful experiences for children.

Whether your background is in business, education, sales, management, or something entirely different, you'll have an established system and support network to help you build your Science Made Fun business.

Because at the end of the day, our franchise owners aren't just delivering science programs.

They're creating opportunities for children to discover, explore, and learn—while building a business with the potential to make a lasting impact in their community.

More than 30 years of experience. And countless discoveries ahead.

Discover the opportunity to bring Science Made Fun to your community.
