Advancing Steam
at muse

At the core of MUSE Global School’s progressive STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) is the groundbreaking MICA (Measurement, Instrumentation, Control, and Analysis) technology. Developed by Dr. Ian Hunter at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MICA transforms traditional science and engineering education into an immersive, hands-on experience. Through real-time data analysis, interactive experiments, and dynamic learning modules, students from elementary through high school actively explore STEAM concepts with curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

INNOVATION IN ACTION: MICA AT MUSE

Leading the MICA program at MUSE is Russell Mallen, an MIT graduate in Electrical Engineering and Economics, and Head of our Science and Mathematics Program. With a passion for interdisciplinary learning, Mallen ensures that MICA is seamlessly woven into both core academics and the passion-based projects that make MUSE unique. His leadership fosters intellectual rigor while encouraging students to think critically and solve complex problems from multiple perspectives. MICA’s integration into the classroom empowers students to pursue interests in robotics, environmental science, biotechnology, and beyond—building real-world skills through individualized and collaborative learning. As Dr. Hunter puts it, MICA allows students to “march across disciplines,” preparing them to meet the future with innovative, solution-driven thinking.
