OUR FOUNDERS
STEM Heroes Academy, an esteemed pioneer in STEM education with a profound history of commitment and innovation. Starting in 2018, STEM Heroes Academy has been instrumental in delivering comprehensive STEM education across the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Notably, STEM Academy was among the first charter organizations to embrace the STEM Scouts program, an initiative by the Boy Scouts of America designed to ignite a passion for learning in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Since its inception in Irvine in 2020, STEM Heroes Academy was built on the idea that every child can be a hero in the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Through our unique progression system, students embark on a journey from STEM Cadets to full-fledged STEM Heroes, gaining skills and confidence with each step. Inspired by the power of storytelling, we chose the concept of STEM Heroes to make learning both engaging and meaningful, helping kids see themselves as problem-solvers and innovators who can make a real difference. STEM Heroes Academy has significantly contributed to the academic and personal growth of countless youths over the years - and we are so proud of that!
