I am pleased to inform you that I've been awarded a $30,000 grant award from the Motorola Solutions Foundation to launch a Saturday MathAPP Academy for students in grades 6-9. Here is the press release that went out yesterday, and here is the project website where you can direct your students to fill out the application. We can only accept 50 students across all Long Island schools! So I anticipate that it will be a highly competitive process.
We are looking to work with students who have high interest in STEM to help them use math to create APPS that can help solve a problem in their community. The online application is due January 17th and we will post the finalists on the project website the week of January 20th. The academy will begin on Saturday February 1.
Any assistance you can provide to help spread the word is appreciated!
Happy Holidays!
