We support the study of math and computer science in prisons by building coding apps, creating math circles, and pairing incarcerated people with math mentors.
In "A Spark in the Dark", the second installment of our "Prison to PhD Pipeline" series, Travis Cunningham recounts his first steps towards becoming a math researcher:

Do you know an incarcerated person with a keen interest in math? You can help them feel a part of the math community while they're inside prison.

Contact us with their mailing info and we'll send them a physical copy of our quarterly newsletter.

We recently secured approval for a pilot program in Australia's largest prison! This makes our coding app available for incarcerated people. Before, learning programming was functionally impossible: imagine learning how to code without being able to run and compile your code!
