Testimonials
I think it is really important to give high schoolers the opportunities to pursue deeper fields in computing when they're younger, and your classes always did that. Thank you so much for them.

Taking Tony Mauro’s computer science and digital circuit design classes in high school opened up an entirely new world and career path for me. As someone who had no prior experience in software or hardware design, his courses made complex topics in these subjects very accessible, intuitive, and fun. Having an in-depth exposure to programming and circuit design as early as high school provided me with a head start in my studies in EECS at UC Berkeley and motivated me to continue my research in integrated circuit design as a EECS PhD student at MIT. I am very thankful to have had an incredible teacher and mentor like Tony who believed in me and taught me an invaluable engineering skillset, and I am confident he will help inspire a new generation of engineers with NexStream.

Taking machine learning and digital design courses in high school provided me with valuable exposure to the large scope of electrical, computer, and software engineering domains. Having a better idea of various engineering applications was instrumental in shaping my future educational and career interests. Especially as a woman in a male-dominated field, receiving an early introduction to these topics also made them far less intimidating, and gave me the confidence to pursue them in college and beyond. By entering college with this foundation, I felt much better equipped both in my classes and as I sought out work and research opportunities.

Most engineers start learning about circuit design and machine learning at university. Tony Mauro's teaching made such complex topics accessible to me at just 9th grade. Learning about digital electronics and signal processing shaped my understanding of what engineering really is, and gave me time to mature. How can someone commit their life to a career path without understanding that career first? I think Tony's experience in the industry and as a teacher makes him the best candidate for introducing such challenging and ever-changing topics to the next generation.

As someone who started off with virtually no CS background and is now pursuing this in
college, what I have gained through Tony Mauro’s teaching has been critically important in
building my knowledge in ML, allowing me to further develop these interests having a strong
foundation. To anyone embarking on the journey of studying ML, I could not more strongly
recommend NexStream's curriculum.

The curriculum, projects, and teaching methods provided throughout the courses have been incredibly helpful. I’ve acquired an abundance of new knowledge in the field of Machine Learning thanks to NexStream’s innovative approach.
UC Berkeley StudentSoftware Engineer
Perhaps most instructive of all is Tony’s unique approach, which helps readers construct an entire PyTorch-esque custom framework from first principles. He’s already had success teaching in this way to a growing number of high school learners through NexStream and his work with UC San Diego. I’m confident you’ll find Tony’s guide to be an invaluable resource in both building your own AI knowledge and helping you impart it to your students.
Harvard College GraduateCS and Neuroscientist
Learning Machine Learning and Digital Circuit Design with Tony Mauro during high school has been incredibly valuable for my academic journey. One circuit design course I took in 9th grade not only sparked my interest in electrical engineering but also provided a strong foundation for my computer engineering and computer science studies at USC. This early exposure was advantageous throughout my coursework, as I felt lucky to have already learned the fundamentals of topics like System-on-Chip logic in high school, while many of my peers were encountering them for the first time.
