16-year-old has a mission: Making mathematics simpler, fun to learn

Named “Mathology: Simplifying Maths”, Mahana’s initiative is aimed at improving children’s education and also reaching out to students belonging to families below the poverty line.

“At Mathology, we are passionate about creating an impact on society by providing quality education to children belonging to families below the poverty line. We provide a rigorous, comprehensive, and personalised learning environment for students to help them reach their full potential. Our project follows Indian government campaigns such as “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”, and “Padhega India Toh Badhega India” for education to ensure that our students have the necessary skills to succeed. Our goal is to make sure that every child is given an equal chance to succeed in life,” she added.

Through the initiative, her team of 30 members that include 16-year-old Dia Parekh, 12-year-old Anjaneya Mahana, and 12-year-old Viraj Anand, has curated over 20 activities and conducted over 20 workshops, and reached over 7,000 students across 18 cities and three countries.

“We strive to create a ripple effect of positive change that will have a lasting impact on their lives and the society at large,” she said.

During her interactive sessions with students, Mahana said she enjoys teaching backbenchers the most. “Bringing out untapped potential is different altogether,” she added.
