Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The wolfram foundation's objective is to support education, research, and entrepreneurism. On our own and with our partners we organize and manage programs and create long-term resources to realize the promise of science and computation in building the future.

To help realize the promise of computation, and support the democratization of knowledge by aggregating scientific and cultural data for future generations, as well as to facilitate the development of scientifically-based entrepreneurial endeavors.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Computational Thinking Initiative (CTI) is a K-12 educational program for teaching and learning computational thinking, primarily through extracurricular activities (clubs, virtual clubs, camps, teacher training and standalone seminars/events). The "AI League" is geared towards middle school students and the summer camps are geared towards high school students. Our mission is to swiftly empower a broad spectrum of today's youth to become leading-edge computational thinkers. We want graduates of our programs to embrace the opportunities to combine their imaginations and modern computation to better understand the physical, social, intellectual and cultural worlds they inhabit and, as appropriate, develop ways to improve them. We will do so in ways that span communities and previous exposure to computation. In 2018, we reached 375 students and 64 educators through a combination of single-instance AI Adventures, AI League after-school clubs, camps and professional development courses.-$16,278
