Math Meets Matter (M3) is a hands-on program that fuses mathematics with nanotechnology to inspire secondary students in STEM. By exploring nanoscale science through mathematical concepts like scale, ratios, and surface-area-to-volume relationships, students tackle authentic challenges and design innovative solutions inspired by nanoscience.

This initiative fills a vital gap in the curriculum by connecting math to emerging technologies, making STEM learning accessible, engaging, and relevant to diverse learners.

For the broader school community, M3 introduces an innovative STEM model that can be shared and adapted across classrooms, fostering collaboration between teachers and inspiring future STEM pathways, especially for underrepresented students.
