Our Programs

“Our goals translate into developing learning models that challenge and advance current STEM driven educational systems and represent the more emerging concepts that will serve the next–generation of STEM professionals and educators.”


~~B:STEM Founder, W. E. Harrison

Program Overview

B:STEM ACADEMY works collectively with educators, corporate and business communities to ensure that all STEM initiatives are reflective of each of the STEM disciplines as well as the best business and career practices associated with those disciplines. 

B:STEM programs take an interdisciplinary approach to best business practices where STEM skills and concepts are combined with real world, business lessons and life skills that allow students to apply what they learn in broad contextual frameworks that make obvious and non-obvious connections between school, community, work, life, and the global enterprise.

Program Goals

Based on current research, B:STEM program developers have identified 3 overarching goals to drive the development of a successful, student-engaging STEM program with integrated business and professional skills development opportunities:
  • GOAL 1: Design a program to increase the number of STEM innovators and professionals.
  • GOAL 2: Design a program that strengthens STEM and STEM-related workforces through business and professional skill development.
  • GOAL 3: Design a program to improve STEM literacy across all industries and in all citizens.
To meet these goals, B:STEM ACADEMY has created an innovative program that utilizes various instructional models to create the seamless integration of best business practices and professional skills within academic instruction that allows students to engage in critical thinking beyond the classroom and transforms gained knowledge into clear associations between work and life.

We seek out students currently engaged in STEM education, and our next-generation curriculum, B:STEM-GEN™ is reflective of what we believe future STEM professionals will need to advance the lives of people and communities around the world:

Program Objectives

The major objective of B:STEM ACADEMY is to explore the common elements that are being attributed to STEM education and co-construct a vision that provides opportunities for all students to both attain STEM-related goals and compete in the ever-changing world of business. 

At B:STEM, we create opportunities to prepare the next-generation STEM professional for the world of work through the identification of concepts and skills that are and are not currently being taught, addressed, or identified as relative abilities that can be attributed to the overall academic and professional growth of students as well as the continued innovation and sustainability of professional STEM communities. 

Program Curriculum Overview

AT B:STEM ACADEMY, our curriculum focuses on engaging students in a hands-on, minds-on STEM education that grows and matures as they grow and mature. Guided by intensive research and anticipated shifts and trends, B:STEM curriculum developers have created 3 specific curriculum levels to help students realize the application and relevance of their STEM education experience in all areas of their lives: academic, professional, social, communal, and global.

Our 3-tiered curriculum includes:

  • Intermediate B: STEM-GEN
  • Advanced B:STEM-GEN
  • Graduate B:STEM-GEN

Additionally, learning activities, initiatives, and programs are aligned to meet specific student learning outcomes that aid and assist in meeting the overarching goals and objectives of B:STEM ACADEMY.

B:Stem-Gen@Home

In response to safety issues surrounding COVID-19 and to further expand program accessibility and availability, B:STEM Academy is pleased to announce the launch of B:STEM-GEN@HOME beginning Fall 2020.


B:STEM-GEN@HOME is designed to allow students and professionals to engage in learning opportunities at home, at their own pace, and as their schedules allow. Program participants will have access to intensive, B:STEM designed learning modules that can be completed through a totally remote learning platform.


B:STEM-GEN@HOME modules can be completed independently or program participants can engage in a class structured design. All classes are intimately sized and allow for attentive instruction and feedback. Whether completed independently or within a group, B:STEM-GEN@HOME modules are designed to be as interactive, engaging, and involved as possible.
