I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it's not for them. It's for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.
When I was little my mom tells me I used to say things like 'Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section?' And she would look at me and say 'No honey I don't know what you're talking about.'
