Overview
Mission
We support instruction and create high school lesson materials that make math what it already is: relevant. Why? Because relevant math classrooms: - Empower marginalized students by boosting math engagement and achievement. - Strengthen civil discourse by deepening all students' math reasoning on civic topics.
What it reported doing in 2024
Jupyter Everywhere - During FY25, Skew The Script launched the Beta Version of Jupyter Everywhere. This application allows teachers and students to access and share data science notebooks on the internet, free of charge, capable of both Python and R, with no account required. The goal is for the tool to lower barriers to data science education in K12 classrooms across the country, where hiccups often arise due to setup difficulty (e.g. JupyterHub) or student data privacy (e.g. Deepnote and Google Colab).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
