KIDS ROBOTIC ACADEMY, LLC

What KIDS ROBOTIC ACADEMY, LLC does

Kids Robotic Academy, LLC is a privately-held Houston, Texas-based education operator that delivers STEM and robotics instruction to children roughly ages 2.5 through 14+, with a recently extended upper-age track that includes an Arduino-based AI-responsive program. Founded and directed by Michael Dupre and Dee Memon, the company runs four physical campuses across the Houston metropolitan area (Bellaire/West University, Cypress, Pearland, and Sugar Land) and supplements them with online programming. The instruction is built on a proprietary curriculum framework the company calls RAIR, structured against Texas TEKS standards to give it a defined progression by age band.

The product surface is broad for an education business of this size: recurring weekly classes, four seasonal camp sessions per year, an online camp channel, a homeschool program (priced $699-$1,250), school partnerships, a teacher training and certification program, birthday-party bookings, and a franchise offering. Per-program pricing spans approximately $199 for short offerings to $1,250 at the top of the homeschool tier, with most class and camp tickets falling in the low-to-mid hundreds. The company reports a cumulative 3,544+ students trained, providing a single disclosed scale benchmark, and has operated continuously through a documented COVID-19 disruption in 2020, returning to online camps by June of that year and resuming in-person operations thereafter.

The business model is multi-stream B2C with selective B2B: parents purchase directly for classes, camps, homeschool, and parties, while schools and educators participate through partnerships and teacher certification. The franchise offering signals a shift toward an asset-light go-to-market strategy in which the proprietary RAIR curriculum, brand, and trainer pipeline become the primary revenue lever beyond company-owned locations. No external funding rounds, headcount, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available data.

• ID Tech: National STEM summer and after-school camp operator offering robotics, coding, AI, and game development courses for ages 7-19. Comparable programming/robotics camp portfolio and institutional school partnerships to KRA's online and seasonal camp offerings.
• Engineering For Kids: STEM enrichment franchise offering engineering, robotics, and coding classes and camps for ages 4-14. Comparable age range, camp portfolio structure, and franchise-based geographic expansion to KRA.
• iCode: National STEM and robotics education franchise offering classes, camps, and after-school programs for K-12 students. Directly comparable to KRA in target market (parents of school-aged children), curriculum (robotics, coding, AI), and franchise-based expansion model.
• STEM For Kids: STEM and robotics enrichment franchise serving K-12 with camps, after-school programs, and teacher training. Comparable to KRA's institutional school-program channel, teacher certification offering, and multi-modality STEM curriculum.
• Snapology: Franchise offering LEGO-based STEM, robotics, and engineering programs for ages 2-14 through in-person classes, camps, and school programs. Closest peer to KRA given shared LEGO-platform curriculum, age range, and franchised delivery model.
• Bricks 4 Kidz: LEGO-engineering and robotics education franchise providing classes, camps, after-school programs, and birthday parties for children ages 3-13+. Comparable to KRA's DuBotics/WeBotics/NXTBotics/EV3Botics LEGO progression and Houston-area camp competition.

Broad incumbents

• LEGO Education: Global LEGO Group division providing STEM and robotics education kits, curriculum, and teacher training for K-12. Underlies KRA's LEGO-based robotics curriculum (DuBotics through EV3Botics) and represents both a foundational partner and the platform standard against which KRA competes.

Emerging players

• MakerKids: STEM education provider offering coding, robotics, and Minecraft programs for kids ages 6-13 with camps, classes, and birthday parties. Comparable to KRA in age segment and program mix, though smaller scale and not franchise-driven.
