Happy International . Girls are magical, and should be celebrated everywhere! Deeming girls “less than” or inferior for the last several thousand years, has only held back half the global innovation and disrupted the balance of earth. Girls are amazing. They’re resilient, brilliant, spunky and fearless. And… they are a big part of our future.

As a young woman, math changed my life. But I was lucky. Math classrooms currently aren’t designed to help all students succeed—especially girls, students affected by poverty, and Black and Latinx students.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s new Grand Challenge for Algebra 1 seeks to change that—with your help.

Submit your bold ideas for how to make math accessible to all young people.

Algebra 1 is one of the most important on-track indicators of students’ future success. Students who do not complete Algebra 1 have a one-in-five chance of graduating from high school and, as it currently stands, Algebra 1 acts as a gatekeeper – rather than a gateway – to future success.
