Our program introduces kids to critical and mathematical thinking at a young age while providing a road-map to a college education in STEM and hope for a brighter future. To increase the quality of teaching, we provide weekly training in mentoring and mathematics education to our mentors, and develop educational materials which are freely available for teachers throughout the world.
Founded in 2014, UCI Math CEO has quickly grown to be one of the largest mathematical circles in the country that specifically target under-served youth and provides teaching development in the process. We are committed to serve our community and provide lasting experiences that can have a long-lasting impact.
