Following the journey

What is happening across Journey to STEAM, enrops and the show, as it happens. The newsletter gets it first.

OCTOBER 2026

enrops selected for the Oregon AI Accelerator

The platform I built for youth enrichment joins the fall 2026 cohort. The next few months are heads-down: building how AI runs through everything enrops does, and pitching at demo day with local investors in the room.

SEPTEMBER 2026

The Youth Enrichment Leader goes weekly

Season 1 wrapped at 40 episodes. The show relaunched as The Youth Enrichment Leader, now weekly and YouTube-first, for everyone who runs what kids do after the bell: owners, parks and rec, community ed, all of it.

JUNE 2026 AND COUNTING

526+ hours of manual work, automated

Journey to STEAM was the first business to run on enrops. The running tally of manual work automated since June 2026 passed 526 hours. That is the point of the whole thing: a business you own should not own you.

2025 AND 2026

Top 5, both publications, both categories, two years running

Journey to STEAM was named top 5 for Best STEM Camp and Best Afterschool Program by NW Kids Magazine and PDX Parent, in 2025 and again in 2026. Featured in OPB and Oregonian Media Group.
