Hi! We're Project ARC.

Project ARC is an initiative aiming to engage students of diverse backgrounds and life experiences in pure and applied mathematics, both inside and outside of the classroom.

​

To accomplish this goal, we reach out to U.S. students living in under-resourced communities, whose schools may not have the funds to provide them with the differentiated curriculum they need to develop their mathematical skills. We work with several immigrant students newly-arrived to the U.S. and the United Kingdom, for whom the language barrier is a temporary yet significant obstacle to pursuing their love of STEM.

 

It is our honor and our privilege to be able to work with a number of Ukrainian students, some displaced across the world by war, and others still in their home country, having been subject to countless violent atrocities, hunger, cold, and the unrelenting danger of shelling. We are continuously amazed both by the immense resilience and by the outstanding mathematical potential of these students.

 

Project ARC aims to strengthen student problem-solving skills and deepen appreciation of the intricacy and inherent beauty of mathematics. Though we provide both school math tutoring services and extracurricular enrichment, we work to integrate the two into one system, helping our Archimedes students develop an interest in math that goes beyond what they encounter in the classroom. In our Riemann curriculum, we experiment with introducing mathematical rigor into our content, emphasizing what it means to prove a statement and helping students develop more mathematically-precise arguments. Throughout our programs, we try to showcase a range of possible careers that involve mathematics.

 

For each of the students in our programs, the Project ARC Team serves as mentors, supplies resources and prepares customized instruction, facilitates peer connections, and provides support and encouragement as students explore mathematics while navigating their own, individual challenges.
