We give Latino and Black students in South LA the world-class technology education they deserve — a college-preparatory path into code, AI, robotics, and drone engineering, starting in 6th grade, built with their communities instead of around them.
Grades 6–8, 360+ hours of hands-on, project-based instruction — equivalent to multiple college computer science courses. See the full three-year path →
Python from first principles through applied machine learning, with AI ethics woven in from day one — not bolted on at the end.
Hands-on engineering with LEGO SPIKE Prime and Raspberry Pi — students design, build, and debug physical systems, not just simulations.
Autonomous flight programming and computer vision — the same skill stack behind agriculture, logistics, and search-and-rescue drones today.
Every program above now has a digital counterpart — so the learning continues after the bell, on whatever device a student has at home.
A coding game built around Pixel, an animated robot guide, with a Claude-powered hint system and a badge system that rewards persistence.
A virtual robotics workbench for practicing builds and logic between class sessions — no hardware required to keep progressing.
A web-based drone simulator for testing autonomous flight and computer-vision routines before they ever touch a real propeller.
A standalone module for AI literacy and ethics — built for students who are already using AI tools daily and deserve to understand them.
“Every year I watch brilliant students use tools designed for someone else. Level Field is what happens when the tools get designed for them instead.”
Philip teaches 6th–8th grade coding and robotics at Alliance College-Ready Middle Academy 12 in South LA, where Level Field's curriculum is piloted before it reaches any other classroom, and leads the school's 6th grade team. He's taught across the age range, too — from middle schoolers building their first robot to guest-lecturing college students at UCLA Extension — on top of 20+ years leading technology and media businesses before he ever ran a classroom. He founded Level Field to close the gap between what elite schools teach and what his own students are offered.
