Meet The Founder

Scott Heifetz, Founder and Director

I founded Launch with one mission in mind: Inspire children to love and learn math and science!

Over the course of my career, I enjoyed using math in the real world. Whether building NASA rockets and satellites as an aerospace engineer or building businesses as a Chief Financial Officer, mathematics and science were always the foundation for my achievements. In an effort to share my enthusiasm for math and science, I worked for the largest tutoring company in New York City that provided services under the No Child Left Behind Act and as a professor at a local college in Manhattan.

I leveraged all of these experiences to formulate the Launch mission. Math is the “language of science” and through my studies and experiences I learned to speak the language successfully, ultimately designing rockets and satellites that orbit the Earth today. At Launch, we demonstrate this same philosophy with real-world math instruction and exciting science-based activities for kids. By showing children the connection between math as a “language” and science-based activities they truly enjoy, a passion builds that motivates and inspires them to love and learn math and science.

At Launch, we look forward to bringing math and science down to earth for your child!
