Liberatory STEAM Education Creates Safe Space for Educators to Thrive

The STEAM Learning Institute is a collaborative research initiative dedicated to fostering equitable STEAM Education.

We help educators create safe spaces in STEAM classrooms where everyone feels they belong through culturally relevant pedagogy, joy, liberatory design, and creativity.

The STEAM Learning Institute provides workshops and courses to cultivate thriving STEAM spaces through place-based learning, culturally relevant curriculum, and interdisciplinary STEAM. We also partner with districts and community partners to co-design training that best suits local needs.

We support teachers by giving them the tools they need to become explorers, researchers, nature lovers, and more. Our courses help STEAM educators build community and develop the skills to create engaging, joyful, and rigorous learning environments grounded in a liberatory, anti-racist curriculum and teaching methods.

“I appreciate how it is a much more holistic approach to education than traditional STEAM education. It really considers the student & the teacher for their unique cultural & social history.”

"Attending the nature journaling outing with fellow educators was an incredibly refreshing and inspiring experience. Being out in nature, taking the time to slow down, observe, sketch, and paint helped me reconnect with my own sense of curiosity and creativity. I came away with practical ideas for bringing nature journaling into the classroom and fostering deeper connections between students and the natural World."
