Rocket Science Tutors, Inc. operated as a nonprofit organization focused on delivering after-school STEM programming to middle school students in Santa Ana, California. The program, developed and run by a team of engineers and graduate students, used hands-on labs and an inquiry-based curriculum to connect mathematics and science to real-world experiments, with instruction delivered on a one-to-five instructor-to-student ratio. The organization positioned itself within education administration programs, aiming to spark interest in STEM by providing practical, project-based experiences that emphasize measurement, analysis, and replication of results. Based in Westminster, California, the entity supported its mission through volunteer involvement over a decade before merging into The Academy Charter High School in Santa Ana, with the founder subsequently serving as a teacher and director of the Engineering Department at the high school. The recent organizational change marks a transition from a standalone nonprofit to a merged educational entity under The Academy, continuing work in STEM education within the Santa Ana area.
