Vision & Background
With the recent de-emphasis on SAT/ACT scores for College Admissions, greater weight is being placed on both the 1) academic GPA and 2) extra-curricular activities. Regarding the latter (extra-curricur activities), E-N-E provide the ‘tie-breaking’ industry-experiences that supercedes the oftentimes much: overhyped, overrated, and overstressing acadamic GPA.
Thus, E-N-E encourages and empowers our students – along with the support from parents/guardians – to ‘critically think’ in the realm of both 1) hard skills (in potential career fields) – and – 2) soft skills (e.g. communications & teamwork). Thus our students do not passively settle as ‘industry-learners‘ – but rather – actively contribute as ‘industry-innovators‘, in responsibly building a stronger community… for life.
Since 2006 of E-N-E‘s 1) Open-Source R&D, 2) family-approach to relational-mentoring and 3) focusing on what’s fun yet foundational, our students are intrinsically motivated to ‘mindfully create/collaborate’ – escaping the negative influences to ‘mindlessly consume’.
By ‘starting early and staying strong’ from Elementary/Jr. High to even High School, E-N-E‘s practicums & internships equip students to collaborate with best-of-breed institutions, such as with prestigious Science Museums (e.g. The Tech Interactive, SJ & Exploratorium, SF) – and – with leading Tech Corporations (e.g. NVIDIA, Siemens & Amazon).
In these next 3-5 years, E-N-E‘s ‘Products & Services‘ as listed in the left column, position ourselves to add our next strand of ‘Collegiate & Corporate Networking‘: establishing local alliances with top Universities (e.g. Stanford and UC Berkeley) – all for a stronger global community.
