Our mission is to create an

engaging environment &

empower students to develop

in-demand knowledge & skills

necessary to thrive in an

evolving world.


Engage their minds and

their interest early.

9,000 +11,000 +

2.4 million

students

15,000-20,000 teachers

trained in 2016


Students decide as early as second and

third grade whether they like, and

think they are good at,

math and science.

We need to reach them first.
