Mathaino is an educational 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to serving young students in underserved communities in the US and abroad to reach their full college potential. Mathaino comes from the Greek word Μαθαίνω which means “I learn”.
In 2010, Mathaino expanded its educational outreach program of helping students in underserved communities in New Jersey to include the use and advocacy for Khan Academy in after-school programs. In 2011, we joined the Khan Academy international group of advocates for localization of the platform in Greece. Today, more than 7,000 learners have been following our Khan Academy Greek online learning content in Math, Chemistry, and Physics. In 2021, our official Khan Academy website was made available with complete early grade mathematics (Μαθηματικά Δημοτικού), giving students a complete solution with videos, articles, exercises, and the ability for teachers to track students' progress on mastering math.
Living in an increasingly interdependent world offers both opportunities and challenges. Addressing those challenges requires teaching our young generation new approaches to learning and collaboration, so they can effectively lead and make the world a better place for all. Learning and education have to evolve too because they need to reflect the challenges of the global society into which young people are entering. In an era of big data and rapidly evolving new technologies, cognitive skills will continue to be important, but so will be social skills for collaboration and leadership, if we are to enjoy peace and prosperity. We will also need social and work equality, so that peoples from all cultures and races can and must contribute to our progress effectively.
As advances in online learning continue to evolve, students will be able to enjoy continuous access to knowledge and information, anytime, anywhere. However, a hands-on, immersive learning experience will be an increasingly important advantage for in-person education and innovation. Through the support of afterschool programs and technical innovations in teaching, Mathaino wants to open new pathways to learning. Whether it is about expanding our pool of teaching talent or use of technology that leads to a better learning experience for our students or tools for measuring student and teacher performance, we want to be part of that progress.
We believe we have an opportunity to shape the future in learning for many young generations to come. How we revolutionize learning shall benefit our students first, but the impact of these efforts should be felt around the communities and the world they will serve.
