For Researchers, Funders, and Collaborators

You've read THE CASE. Now you want to know: Is this real? Is it rigorous? Is it worth your attention?

The Short Version

steamHouse is not another youth program competing for space in crowded schedules.

steamHouse is infrastructure for human development—a meta-curriculum that makes every other educational investment more effective.

We've spent years synthesizing research across 6 domains/48 categories into an integrated, transmissible framework. The design is sound. The synthesis is valid. What we need now is resources to implement at scale and partners to help us prove it works.

This section provides:

• Why this is the leverage point (not one intervention among many)

• How steamHouse is categorically different (not incrementally better)

• What actually exists (current status, honest assessment)

• What we're asking for (and what we acknowledge we lack)

• Materials for due diligence
