Project SYNCERE prepares the minds and creates pathways for underrepresented students to pursue careers in STEM. Our programs ensure students from underserved communities have access to opportunities that will inspire and prepare them for future careers in STEM. Through our project-based learning curriculum, Project SYNCERE has provided STEM education for over 30,000 students throughout Chicago. Our programs provide students with year-round opportunities to gain an understanding of engineering-based principles and recognize how they are connected to everything around them. These opportunities are actively increasing the number of underrepresented students engaging in the STEM fields and pursuing STEM degrees. Through our programs, we are helping to move the needle forward in changing the face of STEM.
