We had the good fortune of connecting with Vishal Bhasin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vishal, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When our daughter turned 6, we wanted to enroll her in science/STEM programs that emphasize on learning by doing. We researched and didn’t really find the options we were looking for at a reasonable cost. Given our engineering background, we knew we could offer such programs for young learners and make a difference in the community.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Wize Computing Academy we offer online, after-school coding, robotics & design clubs at schools & pre-schools during the school year and camps during summer, spring and winter breaks. Programs at the Wize Computing Academy are designed to meaningfully extend STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) learning and expanding a child’s mind through the development of critical thinking, logic and reasoning skills. We inspire young minds to be the innovators, creators and educators of tomorrow, make them more confident in technology and prepare them to take on challenges of the 21st century. Our franchisees control large territories and utilize a unique Business Model.

We train the franchisee to help develop a successful company. Following are a few of the Wize Computing Academy Franchise system benefits: · Online Classes in addition to in-class sessions.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We love Ft. Worth stockyards, hard eight barbecue in Coppell and wide variety of Tex-Mex, Asian and Indian food available in Addison/Irving/Plano. iFly & Top Golf are an absolute must for the family.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We wouldn’t be where we are today without the commitment, skills and leadership of our co-founder and my wife Venus Bhasin. She is not only our lead instructor but also manages our operations & training.
