Our Mission

Preparing students to Lead, Build, and Ship

At Stellar Forge Institute, we reject busywork education. Our students master rigorous academics while building real robots, designing real circuits, and shipping real products. This is education for the age of AI and automation.

The Stellar Forge Philosophy

Education designed for the world that's coming, not the one that's passing.

Mastery Over Busywork

Every subject uses carefully selected materials that prioritize deep understanding over checkbox completion.

Apprenticeship Model

Students work alongside experienced builders on real projects—from competitive robotics to satellite systems.

Productive Struggle

The "Curiosity Cycle"—attempt, fail, understand, solve—builds problem-solvers, not answer-seekers.

Ship, Don't Just Build

Through Stellar Forge Labs, students design, manufacture, and sell real products to real customers.

Built for the Age of AI

Most schools prepare students for jobs that won't exist. We prepare them to create jobs that don't exist yet.

The Automation Reality

AI and robotics are reshaping every industry. Routine cognitive and physical work is being automated at accelerating rates. The question isn't if, but when—and "when" is now measured in years, not decades.

Our Response

We don't just teach about AI—we teach students to build with it. Hands-on work with reinforcement learning, computer vision, and robotic control systems ensures our students write the automation, not get replaced by it.

The Entrepreneurship Imperative

In an automated economy, the ability to identify problems, design solutions, and bring products to market becomes the ultimate skill. Every student learns the full stack: ideation, prototyping, manufacturing, and sales.

The Hardware Frontier

Software had its decade. Robotics is the new frontier. Students gain fluency in PCB design, 3D printing, mechanical systems, and motor control—the physical layer where AI meets the real world.

The Power Stack

A vertically integrated curriculum where each layer reinforces the others.

All programs maintain full alignment with California state standards and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), ensuring students meet or exceed grade-level expectations while pursuing advanced engineering tracks.

Stellar Forge Labs

From Classroom to Market

Where student projects become real products.

Projects don't end with a grade—they end with a product. Students design PCBs, write firmware, create enclosures, and sell finished devices. Real customers. Real revenue. Real entrepreneurship.
