Celebrate at the Fall Function

Our annual Fall Function is just around the corner on October 17 in Durham, North Carolina! This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate Mathkind’s 10-year anniversary and reflect on a decade of impact alongside our wonderful community. 


Can't make it in person? No problem! You can still join the excitement by bidding in our silent auction, featuring incredible vacations to Napa Valley, the Outer Banks, or Lake Lure. Not interested in traveling? We’ve also got Tar Heel basketball tickets and contemporary art. 


The auction is live now, so dig in, place your bids, and support our mission. Tickets and event details are available—don’t miss out on this special evening of celebration and purpose!


We're grateful to our corporate sponsors:

 

Math in Action

This year we’re excited to celebrate Mathkind’s 10th anniversary at our annual math education conference in Antigua, Guatemala! Since our first conference in 2014 with just 23 teachers, we’ve grown tremendously. This year’s event promises to be the best yet with the theme Math in Action.


Endorsed by the Ministry of Education, the conference will run November 12–15 and feature keynotes, forums, and workshops. With space for 200 teacher participants, the event will offer 32 hours of professional development led by 20 expert facilitators. This year we're going digital with a dedicated app that provides easy access to all the details.


We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our decade-long impact than by equipping educators with innovative strategies to make math engaging and accessible for all students.
