STEAM Engine Academics
Between the years 2016 and 2020, STEAM Engine Academics worked on a Bay Area initiative, which was to bring about STEAM & STEM education re-design and re-engineering. Founded in 2016 the mission ever since has been to accelerate your learning in STEAM education. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, with various National, State Wide, and local Bay Area County countermeasures in the mix to help keep the community safe, I decided to eventually leave academic work on a sabbatical and return to the technology sector.

Tutoring & Academic Trainers
During the early years of STEAM Engine Academics, the idea for tutoring and what we called Academic Trainers was built on the idea of going well beyond what other tutoring services were offering at the time. I believed that learning was like playing a sport. The more time you put into training for a sport the better you perform. The same is true for education and learning. Also, positive role models are extremely important for youth. We all need mentorship.
STEAM Engine Academic MAP’s (Modular Academic Programs)
MAP’s were established in 2016 as a way to develop custom modular academic experiences. It also offers learners the opportunity to jump into the middle of a subject matter and start learning at a natural pace rather than taking a linear pre-requisite approach to understanding STEAM and STEM material. Types of STEAM Engine Academic MAP’s:
