"Empowering students to build the future through technology."

I am Rich Wallace, MSEd, with an emphasis in Online Teaching and Learning. I am a credentialed California science and computer science teacher and hold California certifications in Maker Space, and STEAM Leadership. I am also proud to be an International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Certified Educator.

Drawing on years of classroom and educational technology experience, I founded The Learning Cycle Network to bridge the gap between complex technical concepts and student curiosity. My goal is to make science, computer science, technology, and emerging topics such as artificial intelligence accessible, engaging, and relevant for students.

My teaching philosophy centers on the multi-week cohort student participation model. By combining structured guidance with hands-on projects—I help students move from foundational understanding to confident creation .

The Process

How our cohorts work

01

Skill Assessment

We’ll briefly learn about your child’s current interests and tech experience.No advanced background is required—curiosity, effort, and a positive attitude matter more than what students already know.

02

Learning Path Plan

Customized guidance on how to progress from foundational concepts to your final project.

03

Cohort Enrollment

Clear steps to secure your spot in our upcoming online sessions via Google Classroom.

All classes are held online via Google Classroom with weekly live cohort meetings.
