About Zeno
There is no such thing as a life lived without math. Beyond grades and test scores, Zeno changes hearts and minds so children of all backgrounds know that they too can be a doer and lover of math. By starting early, making math fun, including families, and working with community-based partners, we are removing the barriers that families of color face in accessing early math tools and resources.
Today more families and providers are self-identifying as math people, specifically our surveys show twice as many families and providers are saying that they “strongly agree” that they identify as a math person as a result of their work with Zeno.
This year Zeno distributed 27,000 early math games to nearly 5,000 families across 165 partner sites in Washington State during the 2021-2022 school year.
Why Zeno Matters to Me!
Games can connect us across generations. I have so many memories of time spent with my son and his friends talking and laughing as we roll the dice, move our game piece across the board, and play to win. Zeno games create those memories and connections for caregiver and child - and so much more. Their thoughtful design assures that children of color see themselves represented in the images and stories of the game, and that both child and caregiver have fun while TOGETHER they learn math, gain confidence, and build relationship. Join me in supporting Zeno to bring JOY to learning math that benefits children, families and communities. We all WIN when kids and families thrive in racially just world where everyone is a doer and lover of math! Join this team with clear eyes and full hearts so our kids can't lose!!
