Bob Moses, Civil Rights Activist and Algebra Project Founder, insists that quality education should be a constitutional right. We recognize that our country is far from providing this for all, so every week we arrive on our own accord to demand the education we deserve.

At 9:00 a.m. every Saturday morning, we arrive at Miami Northwestern Senior High, where our classroom is packed with students and volunteers who stand in solidarity as we pursue our common goal. Volunteers come from many places and backgrounds: FIU National Society of Women Engineers, FIU National Society of Black Engineers, FIU College of Education, and community volunteers.

We begin each Saturday with ninety-minutes of algebra practice. Working in small groups, we discover together the answers to challenging math problems. We are empowered, and go on to share what we learn with others.

The second ninety-minutes of the workshop varies. Activities range from civics, engineering projects, student self-expression through writing or other forms, personal empowerment, watching and discussing documentaries, or even general conversation in which we express our viewpoints and concerns on an array of subjects.

We come to you as students, educators, parents, and volunteers seeking support so we can sustain our efforts to ensure quality and equitable education. With your contribution, our Saturday Algebra Project Workshop will have the ability to grow and continue to impact our lives and our community.

We are humbly seeking funding to cover costs of the following:
-Supplies for engineering projects
-Breakfast and lunch to keep us fed and focused
-Transportation for service-learning field trips to visit surrounding schools to teach math

We thank you for anything that you are able to contribute. We understand it takes a village. We invite you to join us in our Algebra Project mantra, which powerfully closes each Saturday Workshop. In a closed circle, holding hands, we shout:

"None of us is as strong as all of us!"
