Participatory Science in Action
syGlass is revolutionizing classroom engagement by acting as a gateway to participatory science, also known as citizen science. Through its immersive virtual reality experiences, students are no longer passive learners but active contributors to real-world scientific research. By visualizing real high-resolution scans and interacting with 3D models of the human body, brain, and ecosystems, students gain a hands-on understanding that transcends traditional textbooks.
This participatory approach allows students to contribute data, analyze results, and even pose their own research questions, mirroring the roles of professional scientists. As a result, syGlass not only enhances STEM education but also fosters a deeper connection to the material, making learning more relevant, personal, and impactful. This transformation in the engagement landscape empowers students to see themselves as capable scientists, directly contributing to the broader scientific community and addressing real-world challenges.

Hear from our Partners
“Education is about creating meaningful opportunities for our students that open a world of possibilities. Through virtual reality and scientific conversations, syGlass showed our students their infinite potential in the world of STEM and that the jobs they dream of with modern technology are theirs for the taking.”
— Dr. Jennifer Hammett, Assistant Superintendent, Mesquite ISD, Texas
“syGlass's VR software is unparalleled when it comes to examining 3D datasets in their natural form—our academic community will now have the capability of examining STEM coursework that is both tangible and accessible on another level. I feel syGlass is the transformative learning experience that will set the bar for future scientific research.”
— Mark Tronicke, Coordinator of Global Education, Bergen County Academies, New Jersey
“As a long-time educator and superintendent I am excited about the work at syGlass and how students and teachers in K-12 are able to access and benefit tremendously from post-secondary educators and researchers. This transformational interaction and instruction is what districts and schools should be providing to all students.”
— Steve Murray, Former Superintendent of Schools, Bastrop ISD, Texas
