The programs combine inspirational role models with resources and tools that support an exceptional learning experience. Educators connect with professionals to enhance real-world classroom applications and bring awareness to college and career pathways. They are able to pose real-world challenges for students to solve, while STEM professionals talk about their careers and workplaces. Students learn about careers and are able to ask questions.

The schools are led by School Superintendent, Steve Watson, who passionately supports generating conditions for a more joyful school experience for teachers and students. As a high school teacher, Steve experienced first-hand the restraints that drive teachers from the classroom and the profession. His vision for more autonomy and creativity in the education profession resonates with teachers, while his passion for providing resources that are inspirational, rigorous, and fun strikes a chord with teachers, parents and the community.
