Columbus EcosySTEM
Transforming K-12 Education for the Future
Introducing the Columbus EcosySTEM Initiative!
This revolutionary approach to K-12 education is a dynamic collaboration between the STEM visionaries of PAST Foundation, the learner-centered experts at 100 Roads, and the global corporate leaders at Education Reimagined.
Fresh Vision for Education
We’re redefining education by breaking free from traditional classrooms. Learning is now woven into our communities through a network of hubs, field sites, and innovative “home bases”.
These virtual “home bases” serve as anchors for learners, advisors, and educators, connecting them directly with education in their neighborhoods.
Community Centered Learning
Learning doesn't stop at school walls. Our approach aligns with Columbus's rapid growth and the need to prepare students for future careers.
It’s an endeavor to fundamentally change what K–12 teaching and learning looks like in central Ohio.
Student Fulfillment and Belonging
Our main mission is designed to nurture a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and belonging among learners.
This innovative approach ensures that young people discover their role within the growing community, seize opportunities as local businesses flourish, and gain a deep understanding of how they can contribute.
