Our Story
Systems At Any Age was born from a clear realization: the challenges of our interconnected world—from climate change to social inequity—demand a way of thinking that is not being taught in most classrooms. Specifically, we recognized a significant gap in access to high-quality STEAM and systems thinking education for diverse and underrepresented groups. The modern world requires citizens who don’t just solve problems, but who understand the system creating them.
Our founding inspiration rests on the core belief in the value of systems thinking. We provide the language and tools to harness this innate ability. SA³ is committed to moving past traditional, siloed learning to build curricula and experiences that fuse analytical skills with social and emotional competencies. Our long-term vision is a world where every person, regardless of their background, uses a systems mindset to solve global and local challenges, create sustainable communities, and build fulfilling lives. We are dedicated to nurturing generations of resilient, equitable, and effective leaders and systems.
