Wozniak's Vision
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc. and renowned innovator, has pivoted his creativity and ingenuity towards transforming the landscape of education. Passionate about cultivating future scientists and engineers, Wozniak established Woz ED in 2017, a pioneering initiative that equips learners with the skills needed to thrive in high-tech careers. His vision is not just about teaching; it’s about igniting opportunities, particularly in communities where students face limited job prospects.
Through Woz ED, he has committed up to $10 million for initiatives in K-12 schools that drive entrepreneurship and innovation. This innovative platform offers personalized learning programs, fostering a faster and more efficient transition from education to employment. Importantly, Woz ED ensures its programs are accessible and gentle on educators with no technical experience, achieving proven results especially in underserved communities.

Our Current Academic Landscape
It is important to note that enrollment decreases in public and private K-12 schools can have significant implications for educational institutions, including reduced funding, staff layoffs, or potential school closures. Educational policymakers and administrators often need to adapt to changing enrollment patterns and implement strategies to address the underlying causes in order to ensure high-quality education remains accessible to all students.
Enrollment decreases in both public and private schools can be influenced by a variety of factors. While the specific reasons may vary depending on the region and circumstances, there are some common trends that could contribute to enrollment declines. Here are a few possible reasons for enrollment decreases:
With declining enrollment rates becoming a concern, it’s crucial to find innovative ways to make schools more attractive to the community and parents. By incorporating STEM education and technology, we are not only preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow but also creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment that appeals to families.
Through this partnership, we are committed to providing the tools, resources, and training needed to empower teachers to confidently navigate STEM curriculum and utilize associated technologies. By building their comfort and expertise, we can ensure a seamless integration of STEM subjects, leading to improved academic outcomes and increased enrollment growth year after year.
We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality education, and by collaborating with Cobalt Education and Woz ED Pathways, we are taking a significant step toward achieving that goal.
