" I am highly excited to be part of a network of purpose driven minds aimed at creating positive impact which is consistent with the core values of The Math House. My experiences as a teacher and a student has always left me wondering what our education system is offering us without the inclusion of technology. How do we compete with the outside world? In my quest to bridge the gap, students need to be technology inclined in order to prepare them to fit in this era of technological dominance. Students will be able to identify problems as opportunities after their encounter with The Math House. "

It introduces students to softwares which will help them study and apply what they learn to solve real life problems.
