Launch Innovative Creative Pathway Programs for K–12 Schools
As Los Angeles prepares for the 2028 Summer Olympics, it will not only showcase world-class athleticism, but also position the city as the epicenter of the global creative economy! 🌍
To prepare students for these creative career opportunities, Academix and MUSIC to the Ears Foundation are REMIXING EDUCATION (to a New BEAT) — reimagining Creative Pathways for K–12 schools to empower the next generation of creators. These programs aim to fuel innovation, drive economic growth, and reinforce LA’s role as a cultural and entertainment hub.
🎶 The Initiative
Creative Pathway Programs are being established in K–12 schools that blend business, entertainment, arts, and technology education — including hands-on training in DJing, music production, video, podcasting, visual media, graphic design, coding, and more.
🚀 Powered by the proprietary BEAT framework — Business, Entertainment Arts, and Technology — this model equips students with real-world skills and connects them with industry professionals for mentorship and career readiness.
🤝 LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOLED
This program is further enhanced by a coalition of leaders from entertainment, education, tech, and private sectors who are uniting to reimagine the future of education and career pathways.
📣 K–12 School Districts, Post-Secondary Institutions, and Corporate Brands are invited to help shape this bold, future-forward arts education pipeline.
🎤 ABOUT THE FOUNDER
This vision comes from SCETCH (The Specialist), a creative entrepreneur who grew up in LA public schools and used his talents in DJing, marketing, and events to build a successful 30+ year entertainment career. Over the last 7 years, SCETCH has built the largest K–16 Creative Pathway Program in California. He is now developing “edutainment” infrastructure that bridges education and entertainment, empowering students to turn their creativity into careers.

🔁 REMIXING EDUCATION (…to a New BEAT), Explained
Remixing Education
Inspired by remix culture from hip-hop and digital media, this concept reimagines traditional education to make learning more engaging, relevant, and innovative.
…to a New BEAT (Business, Entertainment, Arts, Technology)
The BEAT framework integrates these four pillars to enrich education with interdisciplinary learning, hands-on creativity, and modern career preparation. It builds on STEM by adding business and entertainment to the mix.
BEAT = Real-World Skills
This approach supports Career Technical Education (CTE) and introduces students to entrepreneurial paths in industries like music, media, digital design, and technology — where creativity meets opportunity.
