Jason Brown is one of the Los Altos Academy of Engineering’s very own. He graduated from Los Altos High School on June 2003. From there, Brown moved on to Cal Poly Pomona in order to major in Liberal Studies.

The LAAE program had such a great impact on his career choice. As he balances his time between going to school, and being one of the advisors for the program, he finds time to show his passion for the engineering program by teaching the pre-engineering class. This class prepares the students who are interested in pursuing the field of engineering and also to continue to being a part of the program.

During Brown’s years at LAAE he had been a part of the electrical team as well as the public relations team. The numerous projects that were offered in the program started to interest Brown in participating in them. With his interest in the projects and his passion for the program, Brown became involved in many projects like BYDV, Botball, Light Speed 2 and 3, Speed Racer, High Voltage, ZEV Challenge, Infusion, and Middle School Robotics.

With a vivid background of having been on the program before, Brown was automatically interested in giving back to the program as soon as he got the chance. Brown became involved in the LAAE program once again, but this time it was for different goals. Instead of coming to build a car for the Solar Challenge, Brown would be helping other students build the car themselves and he would be the one to give advice. Brown felt that the LAAE had given him so much that he wanted to give back to the program that opened his eyes to all the opportunities he had.

Jason Brown is now the teacher of the pre-engineering class at Los Altos, as well as one of the advisors for the Botball team and for the LAAE. With Brown’s support and advice, the LAAE is able to move on to add more projects on their list.
