Who we are

Our Team

STEAM Pirates — formerly known as AKETH Pirates — is the flagship robotics and STEAM team of the Institute of Education and Innovation (INEKA). The team continues the legacy of successful robotics and educational innovation initiatives developed by the organisation.

Through robotics, coding, engineering design and STEAM-based projects, students transform learning into an active, hands-on and collaborative experience. They develop creativity, critical thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills while designing meaningful solutions for real-world challenges.

Over the years, STEAM Pirates and previous robotics teams of the organisation have achieved important distinctions in leading educational robotics and innovation competitions, including FIRST® LEGO® League, RoboRAVE Greece, WRO, Generation Next and StarT / LUMA Centre Finland.
