Syros STEAM Academy connects structured education, technology, live experiences and independent exploration in one real-world STEAM learning ecosystem.
Learning should connect knowledge to the world in which it is used. Syros welcomes educators, researchers and organizations interested in developing and evaluating learning experiences around authentic information, environments, systems and projects.
Programs can serve children from age five, families and lifelong learners, or a defined population within a specific collaboration.
Research & EvaluationBegin with a question, a setting or a community.
Develop a focused question, a suitable study design and an agreed approach to evaluation.

Subject expertise, datasets, guest instruction, career exposure, learning challenges, project sponsorship and equipment or resources.
Connected fields for learning and program design. The depth and content of each collaboration are agreed individually.
Water and soil measurement, conservation, agriculture, food systems, citizen science, sustainability and Earth observation.
Neuroscience, biomechanics, nutrition science, microbiology, genetics, biomedical engineering, public health and exercise science. Educational inquiry; no diagnosis, treatment or clinical training.
Manufacturing, infrastructure, scientific investigation and engineering challenges. Technical partners may contribute expertise, resources or a carefully scoped problem.
Space science, orbital systems, engineering, Earth observation and remote sensing. Interpret a source’s date, units and measurement limits.
Interpret data, compare representations, examine uncertainty and explain what a calculation means in context.
Use observation, creative design, interpretation and revision to make ideas visible, audible or tangible.
Investigate how human decisions, institutions and environments interact. Compare sources and consider different perspectives.
Explore six-, eight- or twelve-week programs, or a semester-based collaboration. Scope, support and evaluation are agreed before a pilot begins.
Explore Pilot ProgramsDiscuss workshops, family learning, youth programs, sponsored access or a shared STEM challenge.
Explore Community LearningSyros may collaborate with eligible educational, research, nonprofit, public and community organizations on externally funded initiatives when program objectives align with Syros learning and research priorities.
