MAKE 'N' LEARN
'Design/Technology with the Fun included'
Make ‘n’ Learn is an opportunity offered to children as an after-school or holiday activity to allow them to develop their design and technology skills in a fun and creative way. In addition there are many ways in which the Make ‘n’ Learn concept is being adapted for use in other areas of education such as family learning and community projects. Schools are particularly interested in including this form of activity into their extended services programme as a way of giving balance between physical and creative experiences.
Make ‘n’ Learn, benefits those children who are interested in being creative, enjoy being challenged with ideas that require the use of skills and the learning of new ones throughout the process. It also provides the children, or adults when they are involved, a sense of satisfaction in having created something, as a result of much patience and perseverance and can be proud of at the end.
Make ‘n’ Learn could be the right business for you if you have experience of working with children to develop their interest, skills and enjoyment of creative activities.
The franchise offers a good return on initial investment together with relatively low start-up costs, support and training to help you grow the business and a ready made source of clients throughout the target area.

Make ‘n’ Learn began 2 years ago providing opportunities for design/technology activities to be the focus for children aged 7-11 in after – school clubs to have fun learning. They develop new skills, gain confidence, understand the way materials can be used to make small projects and in doing so have fun and enjoyment. These clubs have become very popular with the children, parents and schools because they are unique.
As a result of the success with the clubs it was recognised that the concept and approach would suit being used to encourage family learning, where parents and children could participate in and enjoy educational activity, give parents an insight into their child’s abilities and learn the positive interaction that can happen in supporting them. These workshops have received excellent feedback from those taking part and stimulated an interest to continue further courses.
Holiday and weekend workshops have been organised whilst the schools have been closed and this has provided a continuation of income, particularly during the summer months when the other means of revenue from schools have not been available.
Make ‘n’ Learn has shown they can provide ‘design/technology with the fun included.’
