The STEAM Learning Institute is a non-profit, independent research institute focused on developing meaningful conversations, fostering transdisciplinary relationships, and organizing impactful trainings and events to drive systemic ecological change. Through our comprehensive training programs, we delve into equitable access to STEAM learning, nurture emergent and regenerative practices, and cultivate diverse ways of knowing.

Our programs provide STEAM educators with the community and skills to foster engaging, joyful, rigorous learning environments grounded in liberatory, anti-racist curriculum and pedagogy. Educators learn to center STEAM Identity, culturally responsive teaching, experiential learning, trust, and healing. Since its inception, the STEAM Learning Institute has provided customized programming for students and educators, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.

" This course opened up my mind to more ways to teach STEAM and to not be afraid to make connections in different ways with my students and those I work with. I appreciate how it is a much more holistic approach to education than traditional STEM education. It really considers the student & the teacher for their unique cultural & social history.”
