Science Sandbox Grant Awarded to SUMM

The Seattle Universal Math Museum (SUMM) is excited to announce that we have been awarded $65,000 from Science Sandbox, an initiative of the Simons Foundation, whose mission is to support efforts that enable people to reimagine and expand their relationship with science.

The funds will benefit the SUMM + Zeno Family Partnership to implement the SUMM + Zeno Family Fun series of 20 program sessions with 50 families in 2023. We will engage with parents/caregivers, demonstrating playing with math for children ages 3-10, and provide take-away materials to continue the math learning experience at home.

“We support interdisciplinary projects that explore the intersection of science with art, music, design and more. We power programs that connect science to peoples’ existing interests and identities, with a focus on traditionally underrepresented communities,” the website for Science Sandbox reads.

In March, SUMM President Tracy Drinkwater will visit the Simons Foundation headquarters in New York City to network with fellow awardees and engage in professional development programs.
