We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, a collaboration that will significantly enhance our ability to bring the NBA Math Hoops program to students in the Austin region. With their generous $350,000 grant over the next two years, we will be able to reach 10,000 students across Travis, Hays, and Williamson counties, providing them with engaging, hands-on learning experiences that promote math proficiency and social-emotional development.
This funding will support the distribution of program materials, educator training, and local STEM events, ensuring that the NBA Math Hoops program is available at no cost to schools and after-school programs in these communities.
The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation’s commitment to education, particularly for underserved students, aligns perfectly with our mission to empower young learners with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in STEM fields. With this support, we can create lasting impact by improving math fluency, critical thinking, and teamwork through the unique combination of basketball and STEM.
We are deeply grateful for the Foundation’s support and their shared vision of transforming education. Together, we are taking bold steps forward in providing equitable, high-quality STEM education for all students in the Austin area.
