With a deep commitment to bipartisan pragmatism and a belief that math, data literacy and data science education must be more accessible to all students, fellows commit to the belief that the best path forward to improve our education system is one that relies on the ideas and participation of both political parties, working together strategically and in a coalition that prioritizes student and family needs above political differences.

Our team will facilitate the time and space for our fellows to:
