I felt an immediate connection the first time I heard about Zeno. I was that kid who grew up with a parent who said, "I can't do math. I'm just not a math person." Despite that, I found a love for math, majoring it in during college, and pursuing a career where I use it every single day. This is why Zeno is so near and dear to my heart. Not only are they building math competency and confidence in children, they are changing caregiver attitudes toward math. Through games and math practice as part of normal everyday activities, Zeno builds a world where everyone knows they can do math. Their focus on immigrant and refugee communities, as well as communities facing poverty, aligns with my belief that every child should start school on a level playing field. Zeno is working to create a world where everyone is a math person. Thank you for being a part of that!

About Zeno
At Zeno, we are working to spark a cultural revolution in math! Zeno’s dual mission acknowledges that there is no such thing as a life lived without math, and that racial inequities significantly impact the ability of families of color to acknowledge and leverage the power of math in their own lives. We build young children’s early math skills by equipping families with fun and engaging tools to create the math foundation needed for a future of limitless opportunity.
Our innovative programs serve families of color in low-income communities through partnerships with community-based organizations and early learning programs. 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. Zeno envisions a world in which everyone knows they can do math.
