We’re reaching out with a simple but powerful ask: Help us inspire more people to see themselves as proud math people.

Your efforts will allow us to:

  • Support communities furthest from equity by bringing engaging math education to those who might not otherwise have access.

  • Expand our exhibits and curriculum, offering even more engaging, interactive experiences for participants of all ages.

  • Consult with our community stakeholders to build a shared vision for a brick + mortar exhibit location. 

Together, we can build something incredible—a future where math is for everyone. Will you take action with us and join our equation? Will you support the growth of the Seattle Universal Math Museum, a place where learning and curiosity have no limits?

  • “I am a 10 year old soccer player, little sister, and dog lover. I am a proud math person and use it when I play soccer. I use geometry to pass and shoot the ball in soccer.”

    Ruby, community member

  • “I am a 21 year old who loves to play board games and table top games. I like to run and hang out with my friends and family and my dog! My experience with SUMM has gotten me to appreciate math more seeing the enthusiasm in both kids and parents. I am an educator and a proud math person!”

    Julien, staff member

  • "I am the father of six adults who all use math every day! I am a retired engineer, and I have a dinosaur in my front yard."

    "I like mathematics because it is fun and I like counting numbers! The biggest number I can count at a time is 25 plus 15."

    Dylan, age 5, community member

  • “I’ve excelled in math and had the privilege of teaching it for over 30 years, empowering students, especially Black girls, to see themselves as mathematicians. I believe math is for everyone, and I am passionate about creating opportunities to share that message. It brings me joy to help others recognize their potential and confidence in mathematics.”

    Monique, community member

  • “I love to bring people together to build big things. I'm also a proud math person and so I'm really happy when what we build can help people see math from a new angle.”

    "I love to make patterns—and then I break them!"

    4-year-old community member

  • “I love to write. I love any movement. I love to cook. And I love math. My relationship with math has been non-linear, starting when I hit a roadblock during my first quarter of college. SUMM has been a transformative experience being able to share a love of math, creative thinking, and exploratory spirit with a wide range of learners.”

    Julie, staff member

  • “I'm a constant tinkerer of things and a bundle of curious neurons. I didn't like math that much before I applied it to solve real problems... here I am, a proud math person.”

    Saur, board member

  • A smiling child with raised hands in a room with colorful drawings and decorations.

    "I like math because I love math! I like to count my pretty rocks."

    Sol, age 3, community member

  • “I am a student and a teacher who loves playing sports and being active in any way possible. I love doing activities with my family and friends. I am a huge fan of puzzles and board games! I'm also a proud math person.”

    Ginna, staff member

  • "I love being around people who share a common interest in math education and destigmatizing the fear of math."

    Eric, community member

  • "I enjoy math, but it takes me time to understand it fully. In the past, I have been ashamed of that; I no longer am—we all learn at different paces."
