2017 was a transformative year for MIND Research Institute and the pursuit of our mission to ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems. Through help from partners like you, we were able to deeply engage, motivate and challenge even more students toward mathematical achievement.
Together, we’re empowering young minds to become the powerful problem solvers that the world needs.
Thank you for transforming math education alongside us!
