The Journey: What started as "Summer Science Day Camps" in Georgia has evolved into a comprehensive STEM powerhouse. After refining their model for years, the Hagans launched the franchise program to share their unique "Special Effects" science teaching methods nationwide. Between 2017 and 2021, the brand paused development to overhaul its technology and curriculum, emerging in 2026 as a modernized, tech-forward leader in the education space.
