Help us bring Mathemalchemy to the Navajo
Nation, Summer 2025.Join us in inspiring curiosity and a love for math within the Navajo community, and help us celebrate the beauty of mathematics by sharing the enchanting world of Mathemalchemy, where art and mathematics intertwine to create a mesmerizing, educational experience for all ages.
Your generous support help funds a special initiative in the summer of 2025, bringing the Mathemalchemy exhibit to the Navajo Nation Museum and supporting a Mathemalchemy-focused Navajo Nation Math Circles Project's summer camp.
The Navajo Nation Math Circles Project ’s goal is to bring the highest quality mathematical outreach to students and teachers in the Navajo Nation. We are honored to be working together.
Our fundraiser has been extended for a few more days!
For monetary donations only (no rewards) please visit our donation portal (through Duke University) here.
Shipping to the US and Canada is included. International shipping charges will be arranged after check out. Add your contact details to the shipping information and our host will contact you for pricing. You may send your inquiries to mathemalchemy@gmail.com.
Thank you for your donations!
