Educate, Elevate, Empower
A student-run nonprofit dedicated to closing the math and STEM gap for girls and low-income students — one free class at a time.
Education is the great equalizer — but quality education remains out of reach for too many. We focus specifically on the students most underserved by the system: girls, who begin losing math confidence as early as 3rd grade, and students from low-income families who are half as likely to enter STEM careers.
Wisconsin Students for Students shines a light on educational inequalities facing girls and low-income students, and uplifts them through free math enrichment classes, volunteer outreach, and increased community awareness.
We're dismantling the myth that boys are better than girls at math. We want a world where a student's zip code or gender never limits their access to a great STEM education.
By 3rd grade, girls start losing confidence in mathematics — years before high school.
Four times as many men major in engineering and computer science as women.
Math proficiency among low-income students, compared to 50% among high-income peers.
High-income students are twice as likely to enter a STEM field as low-income students.
We offer free math enrichment to middle school students, covering the same topics found in top math competitions. Our curriculum builds the problem-solving skills that open doors to STEM majors and careers.
Order of operations, logarithms, exponents, fractions, square roots, ratios, inequalities
Single & multi-variable equations, graphing, quadratics, functions, complex numbers
Triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, power of a point, 3D shapes, analytic geometry, trigonometry
Combinations, Pascal's triangle, hockey stick identity, binomial theorem, geometric probability
Primes, divisors, base numbers, unit digits, modular arithmetic, linear congruences
We collaborate with established nonprofits and foundations to extend our reach and serve more students across southeastern Wisconsin and beyond.
Math opened doors for me — and I want to make sure those same doors are open for every student, regardless of their background or gender.— Sanjay Dagam, Founder · Wisconsin Students for Students
