We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to making education better by promoting trans-disciplinary, problem-based STEM learning. The challenge, though, is that “better” is different for everyone. We see this challenge as an opportunity. We approach educational improvement from an anthropological perspective. Collectively, PAST anthropologists have over a hundred years of experience studying the complex structure of societies and their interactions, and use this expertise to understand clients’ needs. In other words, we get you. The combination of anthropology and STEM is a powerful one. We have guided entire feeder systems in their transitions to STEM learning to see remarkable improvement in a few short years, and have helped educational organizations streamline their processes to reach more students with fewer resources. We've also partnered with community organizations around the country to reach thousands of students with the concepts of problem-based, trans-disciplinary learning.
