“We collaborated with parents, teachers, school district leaders and nonprofit partners to create in-school and after-school enrichment programs, focusing on 3rd-8th grade students. Our goal is to foster positive connections to math, boost math confidence and help students see math as relevant to their future. Our equitable and culturally relevant science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) opportunities will reduce the equity gap in math education, strengthen the pipeline of women and people of color pursuing STEAM careers and better prepare youth to thrive in the digital economy of the 21st century. Traditional learning settings often teach only the most basic computational concepts, causing students to miss out on the creativity in math, its connections to other disciplines and its applications beyond the classroom. Many BIPOC students, girls, neurodiverse and non-traditional learners too often become discouraged and lose confidence in their abilities in third through eighth grade, a critical age when math becomes more challenging for students, when attitudes about math form, and ideas for future careers take shape.”
