In 1970, employers sought skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic. Fast forward to 2017, and the landscape had shifted to prioritize complex problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Now, in 2024, with the rise of AI, our education methods must evolve yet again to equip students with skills that AI cannot replace: innovation, creativity, teamwork, and mentorship.

There is also an arising critical need to teach our kids how to ethically and effectively utilize and develop AI tools. It is generally difficult for traditional schools and learning programs to make quick pivotal changes in curricula, but as a small, agile, engineer-led education program, Convergence Learning Center is here to meet the learning demands of the new AI age.

We envisioned a learning program with small cohort sizes, fostering strong teacher-student connections and providing ample time for deep exploration of concepts. Our approach involves students in hands-on, real-world projects led by experienced professionals and educators.

Through this mentorship, students develop strong problem-solving skills and attain the deep understanding of underlying schemas required to critically and creatively engage with challenging technical concepts. These unique project experiences not only distinguish them from other applicants to top colleges, but prepare them to excel in our rapidly evolving world.

Our goal is to provide engaging learning opportunities while fostering a vibrant community of students who share common interests and aspirations. Our students are empowered to use engineering, computer science, and math as tools for service and positive change in both local and global communities.
