Regional STEM Rollout Across the DMV
Expanding high‑quality, culturally grounded math enrichment across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
Our Regional Mission
MathSTEM Foundation operates across the DMV with a clear, intentional structure. Our work began on September 26, 2025, when we officially launched the nonprofit in honor of the 100th anniversary of Dr. Elbert Frank Cox earning his Ph.D. from Cornell University. This moment marked our commitment to continuing Dr. Cox’s legacy by expanding access to high‑quality mathematics education in underserved communities where the need is greatest.
On February 21, 2026, MathSTEM launched its pilot program, establishing the foundation for our modern, culturally grounded approach to teaching mathematics. Through storytelling, culture, and hands‑on exploration, our programs help K–6 learners build early confidence and see mathematics as something they can approach without hesitation before reaching middle school.
MathSTEM’s regional rollout is now expanding across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, beginning with the Eastern Shore and Annapolis, Maryland; Alexandria, Virginia; and Washington, D.C. Wards 5, 6, and 7. Our focus is preparing students for strong STEM futures, with mathematics serving as the core foundation for engineering, technology, and innovation pathways.
Maryland
MathSTEM Foundation provides K–6 math enrichment across Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the Parole/Annapolis area. Our programs strengthen foundational math skills through storytelling, culture, and hands‑on exploration, delivered through both virtual and in‑person experiences.
Our Maryland rollout is intentionally focused on rural and underserved communities where the need for early math confidence is greatest. By partnering with schools across the Eastern Shore and Annapolis, MathSTEM connects students to high‑quality enrichment that supports problem‑solving, STEM identity development, and academic readiness before middle school.
Washington D.C.
MathSTEM Foundation is launching its regional rollout to serve K–6 learners across Washington, D.C., with a focused commitment to Wards 4, 5, and 6. Our work strengthens early math confidence, STEM identity development, and community‑centered learning through culturally grounded enrichment experiences.
Northern Virginia
MathSTEM Foundation is beginning its regional rollout in the Alexandria area, supporting K–6 learners through high‑quality math enrichment and early STEM identity development. Our programs connect students to creative math experiences, problem‑solving confidence, and community‑based STEM engagement.
