Project SYNCERE

Project SYNCERE is a Chicago-based non-profit whose mission is to prepare the minds and create pathways for underrepresented students to pursue careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. First launched in 2009, our programs ensure youth 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 16,000 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.
