Math Leaders Program (MLP)
We coach student leaders to spearhead a culture of creative mathematical inquiry in service of their wider community.

Become a
Math Leader
Build mathematical ideas with code to explore patterns and visuals.
Share what you discovered by leading and teaching your peers.
Why MLP
Great mathematics cultures are built through active exploration, shared inquiry, and student leadership.
Learning cannot remain isolated in classrooms—it must live in community through discussion, teaching, and collaboration.
The Math Leaders Program develops the student leaders who spark and sustain this culture.
How MLP works
MLP is designed to train student leaders, not only to explore math through creative computation, but to go beyond by teaching and leading their wider community.
Explore Math through Creation
Begin by building visual and computational models in PaperLand to explore patterns, relationships, geometry, motion, and structure.
Lead & Teach their Community
Bring their work into math clubs, classrooms, and workshops—leading peers in shared mathematical exploration.
