Company mission
To send more kids from more communities to the frontiers of science and technology.
Our take
In the world of science and technology there's a big problem. Too many kids, especially from underrepresented communities, don't have the math training they need to pursue careers in these fields. Math is the foundation of science, engineering, and computer science, but far too many high-achieving kids lack access to high-quality math development programs, limiting their potential to thrive in these areas.
To fix this, Carina Initiatives is steppin in to create a more inclusive math talent system. It hopes to strengthen math pathways throughout K-12 education and supporting top universities in recruiting diverse talent, to make sure more students can reach the frontiers of science and technology.
Already the company is making big strides by partnering with various institutions, creating more opportunities for students from different backgrounds. Its on an exciting path and as it continues to grow, its ready to help even more students reach their full potential and build the next generation of innovators.
